Sony is apparently reacting to the criticism by issuing a software update. The attached article questions whether this cures anything.I'd emphasize, as I said before, that I am sympathetic to the rights of copyright holders. I have no right to copy and distribute, say, a novel, without the consent of the copyright holder. Why would I have a greater right to copy and distribute musical works? Nor do I think this means that Sony is evil incarnate, although I do think the company is subject to criticism (and potential legal liability) for inadequate notice in the UELA.
That said, I get very nervous when people start screwing around with my computer.
