lawsuit filed in Texas over sony anti-piracy measure
I recall predicting consumer lawsuits, but now the Attorney General in TX is filing suit against Sony.


AUSTIN — Attorney General Greg Abbott sued Sony BMG Music Entertainment today over anti-piracy technology on music compact discs that he said leaves huge security holes in consumers' computers.


I'm not sure this is true, abuot the security holes, but I think the patch does leave security holes. Anyway it's a dirty rotten trick, but I am not sure this lawsuit in particular will fly. How about 'they put stuff on the PC that they don't tell consumers about, and hides the fact that such countermeasures exist, making removal difficult/impossible'.
