Sony DRM goes bad.

Mark's blog at sysinternals talks about Sony's latest DRM software that acts like a rootkit - resisting efforts to appear in active processes on the system and other really nasty software. Although Sony's aim is to stop you copying their music, when they start doing tricks like this (which is possibly illegal as it modifies your computer without you agreeing to let it do so but ianal) it is more likely to encourage piracy as people rely on getting mp3's off the internet as they are less likely to get copy protected additions at the same time.
