Sony is oversteping all limits with it’s DRM! >:( It should be convicted because of user rigts breaking and more - creating dangerous software!

Isn’t this the same problem that was fully discussed in the thread that igor started?

Or, is this a new issue?

I would have asked the same but Bob was faster ;D

I use AnyDVD and if you keep it up to date it does a good job. You can check it out at slysoft good for 21 days trial.

Sorry but AnyDVD has absolutely nothing to do with Sony’s DRM. :slight_smile:

Looks like Sony doesn’t want to blemish their reputation. They keep hanging in there. :slight_smile:

Sony’s reputation is already totally trashed.
Between the DRM and the faulty batteries, I wouldn’t buy anything associated with Sony.
“Burn me once, shame on me. Burn me twice, shame on you.”
That’s my opinion. ;D

If I can choose I never use Sony products, CD or whatever…

I believe Sony has a reputation unfortunately Bad and since the first Sony DRM Rootkit fiasco, I too have vowed never to buy any Sony product from memory to computer, from digital camera/mobile phone to LCD TV, nothing, nada, zilch, zero, sod all.

And don’t mention the PS3 which is also tarnishing an already bad reputation with delay after delay mainly revolving around DRM and the Blu-Ray format optical drive.

Other actions of Sony aren’t compatible with the loyaty to the clients. I can’t afford Sony policies anymore.

The same, and not only because the rootkit…
