MediaMax just as bad!

It seems Sony did know what was going on with the XCP malware. They have been deploying MediaMax's malware long before "testing" the XCP junk! Check out the "press releases" on the First4Internet's website and for some more shocking reading, check out Sony's Australia's website.
and how they tell them how they used the "Rootkit" in America but not in Australia!

It reads:

"SONY BMG can assure you that all CDs and DVDs manufactured by us in Australia for local release do not contain content protection technology developed by UK company First4Internet.

First4Internet's XCP technology was used in the US for a limited number of titles manufactured for release there. This has been referred to as "rootkit" technology and has been the subject of recent media coverage.

The easiest way to work out if a CD or DVD is manufactured in Australia for local release is to look at its back cover. Discs manufactured in Australia for local release will state "Distributed in Australia by SONY BMG MUSIC ENTERTAINMENT (AUSTRALIA) PTY LIMITED". These products will also not have a "Copy Control Technology" logo, which is on products that contain any kind of copy protection technology."


Sony must be stopped! It is up to the consumers to voice their concerns and point of views on where they will be spending their money in the future. We are working on a database of 'contact information' on the artists, so we all can let them know how we want a different option to purchase their cd's!
