Sony Suspends Controversial Anti-Pirating System

November 14, 2005

For the moment, Sony has decided to temporarily suspend the use of its system designed to limit the number of copies of CDs consumers can make, after a deluge of criticism, most notably that the system is a sort of spyware and renders users' computers vulnerable to hackers.�But the company admits no wrongdoing, and denies the spyware accusation.

I'm just glad that Sony doesn't publish books, or long ago I would have gone over my "limit" of re-reads on several hundred of my favorite books.
