Oops, Sony did it again…
Sony has done it again. While it’s not rootkits, it is definitely in the same ball park; they attempted to “update” their DRM schema. This go around was against DVDs which inadvertently made them incompatible with a number of DVD players. Sony attempted to push off the responsibility of updating onto the hardware manufactures, but finally relinquished and have agreed to replace any DVD of theirs which cannot play due to the DRM update.
Kevin:
I’ve got hit by this on pretty much every Sony DVD purchased in the last 3-4 months. Very annoying.
