That's OK. We agreed to it when we bought the media. It's in the EULA. http://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2005/11/now-legalese-rootkit-sony-bmgs-eula
Item #5. Old news. Sony hasn't seen a dime of my money from any direct purchase since that whole rootkit fiasco story broke. And I tell everyone I can when their name comes up. -- Mike Gill -----Original Message----- From: Michael B.

So, we all know about the massive breach in Sony's security. Millions of customers had their personal info stolen. As a result, Sony voluntarily shut down most of their online entertainment operations, including the PlayStation Network, and Qriocity (their streaming media Netflix-wannabe service). It's been down going on five weeks now, but Sony has been turning things back on this week. Until now -- they've pulled the plug again. Sony was asking people to reset their account passwords, and authenticating them with their email address and date-of-birth. Email and DOB was among the information stolen. http://games.slashdot.org/story/11/05/18/151211/PSN-Up-And-Then-Down-Again Great job Sony!
