Sony BMG: It’s Payback Time!
p2p news / p2pnet: Help take Big Four Organized Music member Sony BMG to the cleaners.
“It’s time for music fans who bought Sony BMG CDs loaded with harmful XCP or MediaMax copy protection to claim their settlement benefits: clean versions of the music, plus (in many cases) additional downloads and cash,” says Derek Slater in an EFF (Electronic Frontier Foundation) Deep Links post.
“Submitting a claim not only gets fans music that will play on their computers without restriction or security risk, it lets Sony BMG know that consumers care about this issue,” he goes on.
“And for those who have not yet protected their computers, it’s long past time to download the uninstallers that will sweep that DRM off of systems and eliminate its dangerous security risks.
“But Sony BMG won’t be held accountable if music fans don’t have an easy way to learn about the flawed software, the settlement, and how to submit claims. That’s where EFF needs your help. Along with creating a link to the Sony BMG Settlement site, we’ve created several banners that also link to the site. By posting a banner on your website or blog, you can help music fans protect themselves and get what they deserve.”

Where can I buy an XCP CD so I can infect my computer and claim money from Sony?
You see I never buy DRM CDs and actually don’t buy many CDs any more but I don’t want to pass up an opportunity to stick it to the man.
Oh, It’s USA only? Oh well, never mind.
