I forgot to mention, that the quality for home-user would be more
appreciable, digitizing a Record than making worse digital copies from
a far worse (IMHO only for playback - IMO digitally uncopyable, I tried
many copies and not one satisfies. Real CD-Recorder are better, but
also not 100%) medium called Compact Disc.
So anyone could decide him/herself which audio-quality is needed. MP3,
WAV, 16Bit, 20Bit, 24bit... etc...
The Record delivers up to 70000Hz Frequence, well enough for
24bit/192!khz (96Khz Sampleclock is too less for full bandwidth)
digitizing. Why angering with CD´s? |

What difference would that make? If Linux was popular enough for Sony
to care, they could just as easily write this crap to run under Linux.

Mark's article was like being taken on a tour of the Matrix.
Amazing.
One takeaway is that I have lost *all* reservations about using
his excellent disk utilities to defrag my computer (and they are
indeed *superb*!! - goodbye to commercial rivals). This man has a
rare knowledge of the deep levels of how the computer functions,
and writes software that reflects that knowledge.
p.
f'up set. |

Not "as easily" - the kernel architecture is substantially different.
But it could be done, yes. I'm not sure how much room would be left on
the CD for music, though...

NetBSD, FreeBSD, and OpenBSD are also unaffected by exploits of this kind.

Linux and the BSDs are completely free of designed-in security defects that
permeate Microsoft products. Although these operating systems will never
be complete secure, their vulnerabilities are fixed quickly without the
fuss and secrecy demands of The Monopoly.

This is nothing more than a repetition of the unsupported evasion attempted
repeatedly by Microsoft. Microsoft does this in an attempt to draw
attention from the large number of vulnerabilities in their software. They
want you to believe the number of bugs and trojans and viruses and security
problems is proportional to market share.
Why don't you get some basic education in operating-system principles and
the design of Sony's malware? If you had already done this, you wouldn't
have fallen for the drivel spouted by transparently dishonest corporate
spokesdroids. |

FWIW:
"We wrote on Tuesday about the DRM software from Sony that used rootkit
technologies. The company behind the technology, First 4 Internet, has now
released an update for the software. After visiting the web site,
downloading and installing the update, it now seems that the DRM software no
longer attempts to hide anything on the computer. The rootkit driver
(aries.sys) is removed from the system during the update.
The update from Sony is available here
http://cp.sonybmg.com/xcp/english/updates.html
We sincerely hope that the updated version will make it to the CD's in
stores as soon as possible. Many people that buy copy-protected music will
not be aware of the programs that get installed on their computers, let
alone worry about updating them.
Automatic uninstallation of the software is still not possible without
additional tools, and removing it manually is difficult. If you want to
remove the software from your computer, we still recommend that you contact
Sony BMG
http://cp.sonybmg.com/xcp/english/form8.html
using their web form and ask for permission to uninstall it."

Their FAQ <http://cp.sonybmg.com/xcp/english/faq.html#uninstall> says:
How do I uninstall the software?
If at some point you wish to remove the software from your machine
simply contact customer service [through this link]. The only safe and
proper way to uninstall the components is to follow these instructions
exactly. You will, though, be unable to use the disc on your computer
once you uninstall the components.
