The Redmond, Wash., software maker said that the security of its customers' information is a "top priority".

Hahahahahahahahahaha - yeah riiiight.

"and that the company is concerned by software like that deployed by Sony to block illegal CD copying."

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah.

The hypocrisy!

Yeah, I wanted to write something similar, but I wet my pants laughing and had to go change clothes.

tuxxy: Sure it wasn't that install of Mepis last night that did that instead?

From a security camera tape found in a Redmond dumpster:

Conversation between two unidentified males. One seems to have emerged from an office and the other from a cubicle farm.

#1: Dude! Did you see what Sony's with their new CD's?

#2: Yeah. Totally cool, huh?

#3: No way, man. It's completely lame.

#4: But don't we...

#5: Exactly. This stuff shoulda been in a service pack.

#6: You gotta admit it rocks, though.

#7: Definitely. We gotta get that guy's resume.

dino: you seem to have quite a few "ins" down there at M$ land -- any reports as to what Toady has been up to lately?

Paulie -

I actually had a Toadie sighting in Boston, on the last day of the American League Divisional Playoffs.

Seems a security tape was retrieved from a dumpster outside a state building that recorded a previously unreported hearing on the OpenDocument format. Guess the press (and nearly everybody else) were all at Fenway.

Am busily transcribing, but the quality of the tape is poor.

After reading about how the Sony rootkit pirated from the open source LAME MP3 player http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20051118/tc_nm/sonybmg_opensource... I posted this reply on the Yahoo message board. I thought I should share it with LXer

Sony Execs Are Pirates!!! by:holderm1(M/Denver, CO) 11/17/05 11:15 pm Msg: 9 of 9

I can't believe it! Sony pirating open source software to sabotage millions of poor Windoze lo- I mean users!

And when an FAA computer goes BSOD and people die, will it be Sony executives up on murder charges? Most likely they'll blame the open source writers they stole from.

======================= Microsoft's anti-virus team said earlier on Tuesday it would add a detection and removal mechanism to rid a PC of the Sony DRM copy-protection software, because it jeopardized the security of Windows computers. =======================

How much do you want to bet that it will also remove LAME, the open source MP3 player that Sony pirated?
