Yes, very entertaining reading - I must get to reading some of these blogs more often. First I'll have to win the lottery so I actually have the time. I forgot to mention that Mac users are not at risk by this Rootkit stuff. Neither would Linux users be for that matter.

And it is far worse than that... the Sony RootKit punches such a hole in a winders pc that there now is in the wild a trojan that uses that same RootKit to pwn the machine. In short, Sony's greed now DIRECTLY enables winders pc infection. Oh, and the best part of all is that this DRM is very easily bypassed. Here's linkage to good articles. The comments below the articles provide genuinely valuable insight as well as the standard great comedy.

DRM on Commercial Music CDs
by Rory Filer 11 Nov '05

11 Nov '05

Hi, I just heard on Canadian radio of a fellow in Austin Texas who bought a music CD (didn't say which one) by Sony. The fellow happens to be a PC whiz and discovered that Sony had installed some software on his machine in a hidden location. The "victim" only found the software as part of his normal scan for spyware. The software apparently is designed to prevent you from copying the music CD. Our blogger eventually had to resort to manual removal and in the process, the software did something to the registry which prevented the PC from accessing the CDROM drive. The whole story is written up on his blog at: http://www.sysinternals.com/blog/ I only mention it here because there was a thread maybe 1.5 years ago on this list on the same subject. Someone, I forget who and am too lazy to go searching for the thread, mentioned that the use of spyware on music CDs was a figment of the poster's imagination. Well, looks like it is here after all. /RF

Re: [Yello] I Got Some New (Old) Vinyl

Today I got lucky and found a resurrected 2nd hand record store that disappeared for a while. But I remembered seeing some Yello in their shelves and luckily they still had some of the vinyl. I got two albums, one I'd never heard of: Title1: Yello The Plutone Mixes Plus The Premix (By Yello) How How - Track Listing: Drummer's Mix, In Silence Mix, Saxophone Mix, The Premix (By Yello) A Capella Title 2: Yello The Race, All New Remixes Track Listing: Blazing Saddles, (Latino House Mix) Blazing Saddles (Latinohouse Dub) The Race (Spare Parts) The Race (High Octane Mix) The Race (Formula One Mix) I've got all the tracks from the 2nd LP on MP3, but didn't actually have the vinyl. But I've not seen or heard of those How How tracks before. Now it's time to dust off the old victrola! Wonderful: Please find a sharing site to post them for all the fans.
