Comfortable Disappearance

Thankfully Sony’s idiotic program that they accompany with certain CDs has given them a lot of bad press, and brought the mainstream media’s attention to DRM (Digital Rights Management). I cannot give you a good example of DRM, but what I can say is that I am WAY less likely to buy a CD (if I bought CDs that is…) that would allow me to play it only on one computer than to rip it to my mp3 player and play it on my work computer. These two things, of course, are rights given to you under “fair use” clauses associated with copyright. Howerver, Sony does not allow you these rights if you purchase one of the CDs listed above.

Sony, get a life…and stay out of mine.
