Sony Recalls Risky CDs

Thursday, November 24, 2005

Sony was forced to recall 4.7 million CDs this month because the copyright-protection software embedded on the discs left computers prone to hacker attacks. What do you think?

Cameron Feng,
Electrician
"This won't be the first time I got a virus from that Sarah McLachlan."

Jesse Glass,
Machinist
"I've been downloading bootleg MP3s for nearly three years and the first CD I buy fucks up my computer?"

Sonja Kelly,
Custom Tailor
"I've always known that one day, Sony's unblinking commitment to artist's rights would come back to bite them in the ass."
