Sony

I agree with the principle of protecting intellectual property. When someone borrows a CD from the local library or from a friend, he then finds that he likes it and makes a digital copy instead of buying that CD, he is are stealing.

Sony apparently bases their method on he assumption that when someone places a CD in a computer it's to make a copy. In view of the fact that there are 650 million (or more) CD players out there they might have a good reason for that assumption.

Of course the fact that simply playing the CD on a computer installs the software of that computer also affects those who, being absolutely in their right, want to make a copy of their own CD for their personal use like car or holiday home.

So the principle of protecting is ok, that method is bad.
