Sony halts production of copy-protected CDs

Sony halts production of music CDs with copy-protection scheme
"Stung by continuing criticism, the world's second-largest music label, Sony BMG Music Entertainment, promised Friday to temporarily suspend making music CDs with antipiracy technology that can leave computers vulnerable to hackers."

Well, well, well. That didn't take long. I'm hoping that "temporarily" means forever. Or better yet, until they can fix it up so it's not so restricting and it doesn't invade people's privacy. To add to this, the first virus was released yesterday that will attach itself to Sony's code and infect your computer.
