Wired article on sony....

So, now you have to ask yourself the question......which new copy protection will they have on the replacement CD's?
Sony has really shot themselves in the foot.......i dont think it will stop people from buying up playstations and PSP's though.

and that is the really sad part, they can pull this crap and see no drop in sales at all. If a smaller organization tried this they'd be hanging a for lease sign in a couple months, but if Sony does it the "Marketing Machine" covers there butts.

Very interesting article. The author makes some good point. I also the like Hotel California reference to the program that checkes in but doesn't leave. :)

Yeah .... the thing is sony got caught. I'm sure there are others doing the same..now they know they have to hide it better.
