RIAA gets their teeth filed down

Okay, so i'm behind in news items. Still think this is a great article that Sony has been found guilty and must refund consumers money for purchasing CD's that installed rootkit software on computers without user knowledge.

Here's the article: http://www.computerworld.com/action/article.do?command=viewArticleBasic&articleId=9000687&source=NLT_AM&nlid=1

I'm glad to see the courts finally standing up to the big business's and telling them they can't do whatever they want to us consumers. At the same time, the only way to stop any of this is for the end buyer and user to stay aware of what is happening and to say "no, this is not acceptable" and doing something about it.

So to everyone that made their voices heard, joined the class action lawsuit or made sure CORRECT / VALID information was passed along to inform others, BRAVO! And to the big business that thinks they can do whatever they want with no repurcussions? Pay attention, we are not children to be patted on the head and say "it's for your own good".
