Whatever... If I want to play a music CD (one I bought for my GF) on her computer with media player or similar- the disk loads some wierd player thing (it's a sony publication by the way) and tries to access the net and all sorts of crap, without my permission. As for a music CD 'installing' hidden drivers/files without authorisation and consent which cannot be easily deleted even in safe mode; that's just getting to be *********g criminal. Its my damn computer; so I should have complete and total control over my property and not have it exploited or hijacked by overly greedy industry safety concerns. What right do they have to get away with that kind of behaviour and expect people to put up and shut up?
(it's rhetorical, so I don't expect some smartass answer about interllectual property rights or any of the other arguments the industry bandys about to justify installing intrusive software without your direct consent- 'cause they know bloody well most folk would tell them to go to hell).
Time for users to start taking the power back and let these industry monopolies know who is responsible for their existance and continued success as a business venture.
