Microsoft to Sony's DRM: Smackdown!
Posted by Jason Dunn in "NEWS" @ 02:49 PM
"Microsoft plans to issue detection and removal signatures to Sony's controversial DRM code through its anti spyware software programme. The software has been heavily criticised for using techniques more associated with hackers rather than corporate giants. Declaring war on the rootkit in the company's malware blog, Jason Garms Architect & Group PM of the Anti-Malware Technology Team said that Microsoft regards the Sony DRM as malicious code and planed to treat it as such. According to Garms, Redmond's position on the Sony rootkit DRM could not be any clearer. Microsoft will add a detection and removal signature for the rootkit component of the XCP software to the current Windows AntiSpyware beta. This signature will be provided to the millions of AntiSpyware users through the normal weekly Windows signature update process."
:lol: Oh my, this is priceless! By treating the customers who buy this CD like criminals and infesting their systems with DRM software, Sony is now reaping what they've done: they're being treated like criminals. I couldn't be happier.
