more on the Sony fiasco

"Trying to gauge the damage caused by Sony-BMG’s rootkit DRM will take years to comprehend. The gaping wound caused by Sony-BMG exists well beyond infected computers, security problems, and a tarnished reputation. The record label’s entire philosophy on P2P networking, Internet piracy and DRM has been effectively destroyed."

If you've bought it and you stick in a PC, it will ask to install its own player to play it via Windows.

If you haven't, it will a) not have the 'CD Compact Audio' logo on the packaging (Philips get upset otherwise) and b) will mention XCP, possibly as part of a web address.
