Shit, Sony, why you gotta be so nasty?
Kitsune's post is very normal, but it points to some scary links about what Sony/BMG music is doing to your computer. (Please check out the original post to see the links to the scary stuff) Oh, the EULA is comically scary. It takes to a whole new level the truth of the proverb: The big print giveth and the small print taketh away. Yeesh!
