  • The Sony-BMG DRM saga continues to get more and more absurd every week. First you had the patch for the rootkit opening up larger security holes than the rootkit itself. Then there was the discovery that Sony's DRM software itself was violating the licensing agreement (LGPL) of a popular mp3 encoding library called LAME. This was especially odd since the LAME encoder had no business being linked with software that doesn't do mp3 encoding, not to talk of then violating the encoder's license agreement!!

    In the latest twists today, the Texas State Attorney General filed a suit against Sony (Go Texas!) and it has come to light that this whole Sony-BMG DRM enchilada can be defeated (kinda like previous DRM attempts) with just a piece of scotch tape!!
