Sony BMG suspends copy-protection software

THis is a response to a DRM scheme that the Chief noted a few days back, where Sony had what amounted to de-fact trojan spyware on audio CD’s that installed itself (clandestinely) when the CD was played on a PC.

Well, it didn’t take very longfor themn to decide that this was NOT a good thing to have been caught doing! Pesumably the suits and bean-counters at Sony-BMG took a look at the reaction to their DRM scheme, and decide to quit while they were behind.
