Thanks danlisa
This doesn't even qualify as copy protection. It allows CD drive emulation software, which pirates love to use (and is also very useful lawfully as well), but picks on a Microsoft utility because of a personal feud with a consumer warrior.
Ubi smells very bad right now and needs to issue a patch to remove this abomination. Actually Ubi should do that and then sue Sony for damage to the reputation and integrity of Ubi.
The worst part of intrusive copy protection is that it only punishes the innocent. The pirates have already defeated it and are turning out unprotected copies by the thousands, all over the world. It is only those of us who pay money to Ubi, support SUBSIM and help Ubi retain dissatisfied customers that are punished by this putrid piece of software, which we neither agreed to purchase nor gave permission to invade our property. It is a carjacking. Someone should be arrested and spend time in prison for perpetrating this act which should be and most likely is a crime.
Is it any wonder I refuse to buy any Sony products? I'll live without high def DVD until their equipment rots. It won't be necessary for very long anyway. Just with my family alone, Sony has cost themselves several thousands of dollars for their stupidity. Their disdain for their customers stinks.
