Sony's In Trouble...

As many of us have heard lately, Sony's rootkit has been causing a lot of controversy over the past few weeks. It really restricts your freedoms to do what you want to music. But not only that, but people have made viruses for it. Viruses! All people want to do is play their music, and they are immediately vunerable to new viruses.

And it looks like MS is doing something smart. They're going to release a tool to get rid of it.

But that's all besides the point. A couple of days ago, people found LGPL code in it (from mpglib - I think that's from LAME, but I'm not sure). Yes... they used Open Source code and failed to even mention it.

But now, they've found proof that they also used GPL code in it. They found code from drms.c, a program written by DVD Jon and Sam Hocevar.

Sony, get a clue. Not only have you surpressed freedoms by not allowing us to do what we want with our music, but you have also used free software without even bothering to mention it.

Let's boycott Sony!
