      <title>Anti-Sony manifesto</title>
      <description>So, Sony installs a &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rootkit"&gt;rootkit&lt;/a&gt; in your PC when you buy a CD from them, in order to implement his &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_rights_management"&gt;DRM&lt;/a&gt;. This was &lt;a href="http://www.sysinternals.com/blog/2005/10/sony-rootkits-and-digital-rights.html"&gt;discovered &lt;/a&gt;by &lt;a href="http://www.sysinternals.com/blog/"&gt;Mark Russinovich&lt;/a&gt; in October (highly technical post). In my personal opinion, this an unacceptable behavior, and I'm not alone: &lt;a href="http://webreakstuff.com/"&gt;Frederico Oliveira&lt;/a&gt; wrote what I consider to be the first &lt;a href="http://webreakstuff.com/blog/2005/11/sony-i-download-your-music/"&gt;anti-Sony manifesto&lt;/a&gt;, which I totally subscribe.</description>
