Sony/BMG Audio CDs and spyware (in case you didn't know)

I think it would be best to avoid Sony CD's on your computer for now considering their history of lying and disengenuous advertising (paying graffito taggers, stealing other peoples' programs).
and of course the evidence that all their uninstallers are actually backdoor programs.

Already knew 😛

I think, like this, there are many other good examples too.
Pretty bad.

this and every other corporate exploitation wouldn't happen if congress and the courts would get off their fat, bribed asses and actually start enforcing laws regardless of class and wealth and started throwing executives and chairmen into jail cells with common thieves, extortionists, and other scum, where they belong.
