Sony Rootkit CDs →[More:]
Fuck. The new Our Lady Peace CD is apparently one of the discs with the nasty Sony rootkit bullshit. It will be the first one I have not bought. Anyway, here is a list of CDs known to have the rootkit. If you know of other lists, post them here.

Not My Morning Jacket! Bastards. Now I'll have to download it, burn to cd and give a copy to everyone I know.
