		<description>I&#039;m a parent who has purchased cd&#039;s for Christmas for my kids. I am in Canada and the local Future Shop (large music/dvd/electronics store) had no idea about the Sony problem. I heard about it on the news. I just bought two J-LO cd&#039;s (ugh!) and I need to know if they are safe. Re-birth-dual disc, and On the 6.
I am a computer idiot so any help is appreciated.</description>

		<description>True enough. The BBC has been great. And equally true the specialist media (El Reg, The Inq and ZD-stuff) have all covered it. But then they all really like poking fun at the dinosaurs.

But look outside that to mainstream &quot;quality&quot; like the Guradian (sic) The Times Business section, The independent. There&#039;s been little or nothing. Certainly no attempt to educate their readers.

But what really gets me is Amazon UK. Amazon USA have been all over this, both with offers of refunds and nasty comments on every infected CD&#039;s page. Amazon UK seems perfectly happy to go on selling you the CDs with no questions asked.

Now look at SonyBMG UK&#039;s web pages. Right, not a mention.

What&#039;s particularly interesting is that in the UK we have fairly robust criminal hacking laws. It certainly looks to me as though Sony have crossed them. So where&#039;s the prosecution?

Either this is a USA only problem or it&#039;s not. And it&#039;s clearly not.</description>

		<description>There was an article in the Globe and Mail in the review section on Dec. 10 and this is a Canadian national newspaper. The filesharing community of course has been on top of this from day one but I think it has gotten a reasonable amount of coverage in the mainstream media at least in North America.</description>

		<description>On December 8th, Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan issued a press release on the dangers of Sony-BMG discs containing either XCP or MediaMax software.

http://www.ag.state.il.us/pressroom/2005_12/20051208b.html

In it she stated: &quot;Although Sony BMG has discontinued using MediaMax software, the company .......&quot;

This was the first public statement from anyone that Sony-BMG were no longer using MediaMax software, although most assumed that to be the case. The company shills on message boards, most notably Investorshub, denied suggestions that MediaMax was no longer being used, but interestingly SunnComm would not go on the public record and state Sony-BMG were continuing to use MediaMax (important information to investors, as MediaMax is their only current marketable product and Sony-BMG is by far their largest customer).

Within 4 hours of the Illinois AG&#039;s statement being posted on Investorshub board, a poster (possible an employee as he is a known shill) claimed that he had been told by SunnComm that the Illinois Attorney General was wrong.

Any company with an ounce of integrity would issue a press release to investors letting them know the status of their deal with Sony-BMG.  But instead SunnComm hides behing anonymous message board posters who &#039;leak&#039; misleading information to investors.

Here is an excerpt and link.

&quot;I stopped by the office today and spoke with a few different people.......

The statement from Ill. Is incorrect in that Sony/BMG has not stopped using MM.......&quot;

http://www.investorshub.com/boards/read_msg.asp?message_id=8845268

Let&#039;s see if SunnComm is as quick to issue a press release refuting the statement of the Illinois Attorney General as it was refuting a spoof article that appeared here on p2pnet. </description>
