I had read about Sony's seemingly illegal DRM protection of some music CDs [ie, when you try to copy your music to your computer's hard drive, from a CD you bought in the store, it secretly installs malware files that take an 18th level computer geek to find and eliminate]. I wasn't that surprised, and I wasn't that bothered, since I buy extremely little music these days [I don't illegally steal music either, I just listen to stuff created by unknowns, like Brad Sucks].
But, Stryker points to an article pointing to Sony's acquiring a patent that would allow it to rent or buy used games for the playstation 3.
And I thought Microsoft was an Evil Empire. Remind me never to buy another Sony product, until they stop this crap.
