    What a great company. This company has given more back to the community than any other company in U.S. history. I just wish more people knew about it.

    Maybe YOU need a lesson on what DRM is. Here I'll make it easy for you and copy/paste from wikipedia.org:

    "Digital rights management technologies attempt to control use of digital media by preventing access, copying or conversion by end users to other formats."

    Sounds like what SONY's rootkit was trying to prevent huh?

    "The fact that given player or piece of software supports it really doesn't have any effect on your or your PC if it is not used to play back protected content."

    The assemblies are on my machine which likely includes registry entries for COM components and whatever else they decided to write there.

    You have used a PC right?

    Replace CD with Blu-ray.

    "In fact, DRM in and of itself isn't a piece of software you'd install."

    An application that "supports DRM" includes code that supports DRM that is installed on your machine (this includes Vista). Therefore, DRM get's installed on your machine in one form or another.

    I personally don't need any extra DRM entries in my registry. Poorly written uninstallers keeps it pretty full already.

    I'm really looking forward to all the rogue DRM software installing on my machine whenever I pop a Sony Blu-ray disc in my PC...
