Boycotting Sony Music

The guys at Sony music have been spying on you. Sony music CD's install a "root kit" on your computer if you agree to install their music player.

Here is a article from PCWorld.

This is a violations of your privacy as I see it.
The "root kit" will "phone home" or contact Sony Music via the net every time you play the CD.
Would Sony require you to phone them every time you decide to play some of their music?
Well with this program running on your PC you will do just that.

Sony deserves the bad press they get from this obtrusive idea.

I will no longer purchase any CD's from Sony Music.
