Bottom line: Don't buy Sony media, or, if you do, don't run

I loved the part about visiting a Sony site, filling in forms (mother, may I?), and downloading still more software to do who knows what to your machine to get rid of what was illegally installed in the first place.
REALLY confused now.........

I've been getting music from BMG for years but if they're responsible for this latest fiasco I'll never buy another cd from them again!

Sony and RIAA
by Guido Muldoon - 11/15/05 6:41 PM In reply to: Sony accused of using the tactics of virus writers by Thor2005I will never purchase ANY Sony product ever again but in addition I will no longer purchase any entertainment media, regardless of the source, if it can be shown to contain any type of DRM.
I already have hundreds of CD's, cassettes, vinyl LP's, VHS tapes, DVD's and so on that all predate DRM and are basically free of anything except Mavrovision on VHS and CSS encryption on DVD's. I have more than enough classical, jazz, blues, rock, pop, R&B, etc. to last my lifetime (I'm 51 and until Fiona Apple comes out with a 4th CD I'm good).
Oh, and I forgot to mention to all you J_CK O_FS at the RIAA that I have never obtained anything in my collection illegally.
