Underground And Other Stuff

Earlier this year, Sony BMG began distributing select CD labels with
copy protection software. When users tried to play a CD through a
Microsoft Windows machine, the software would prompt them to install a
special player in order to listen to the CD.

What Sony BMG failed to mention was the true nature of the
application--a "rootkit" designed to hide and protect the software on
the user's computer. And that omission has made headlines and spurred
countless debates in the past few weeks.

Find out what all the commotion is about, and get my take on Sony's
clandestine copy protection software.
