DRM - Copy protection, next of kind .......

[stratege]

i will NOT start ... i will NOT start ..... arrrrgh, i have start it ...


the wiki say's:
A root kit typically hides logins, processes, files, and logs and may include software to intercept data from terminals, network connections, and the keyboard. In many sources, root kits are counted as trojan horses....

Well, the "something" from the sony disk is actually hidings a process call $sys$crater (and other) in order to manage the drm correctly ....

Moreof that, if you use s dump-sniffer like ethereal, you will see that while you are using the sony-drm-player who comes with the disk, the DRM system connects to connected.sonymusic.com and www.sonymusic.com and tells them an id number, apparently identifying the album. So, sony knows your ip address and what you listen to.

SO, its intercepts data also ...

SO, this is a rootkit...
