Summary:

On October 31, 2005, computer programmer Mark Russinovich wrote in his online blog that listening to his new Sony BMG CD on his computer had turned into more of a trick than treat. Russinovich discovered that the anti-piracy software on his Sony CD had installed a hidden program that made his computer vulnerable to potential viruses. Within hours, Russinovichs article became a hot topic across the web. Hundreds of other sites linked to his blog and the security hole created by Sonys software became a headline in major U.S. and British newspapers. Sony BMG initially rejected the uproar against the software as technobabble, and the digital rights management issue quickly turned into a public relations and legal nightmare. Since CD copy protection is still an experiment in progress, Sony must balance its desire to protect its intellectual property with consumer rights concerns.
