Sony temporarily suspends copy protected CDs

Too little, too late, Sony. Having endured a hailstorm of criticism over the past few days, Sony has announced that they will temporarily suspend the production of copy protected CDs featuring their so-called "antipiracy technology." When they say antipiracy technology, it turns out, they mean "...install a couple of kernel extensions into your OS." You may want to write down PhoenixNub1.kext and PhoenixNub12.kext somewhere. And it's even worse for Windows uses, as our own Damien points out.

Sorry, Sony, but I'm pretty peeved about this. Looks like I won't be going back on my "no more CDs" credo any time soon.
