Big Brother Sony

Forget the NSA/Patriot Act, Sony's spies are real and pervasive:
It seems that the State of Texas is all upset that Sony was sticking rootkits onto people’s computers without their expressed consent. The stated goal was to make sure the copy protection was working, but it made the user’s computers ridiculously insecure.

That, and the new suit says that Sony was using the MediaMax software to track what people where doing with their data files. That wouldn’t be so bad, but it is installed whether you agree to the EULA or not.
First step: Boycott Sony.

update: Spies!! Spies everywhere!!!
