Turns out that Sony's DRM that has caused so much fuss int he last few weeks can be defeated with a simple piece of tape applied to the outer edge of the CD itself, causing session 2 to be unreadable, adn the rest of the CD will be treated as a normal CD by players. Of course any decent hacker could ahve gotten around the DRM pretty easily already, so the draconian and invasive copy-protection scheme Sony has used to block consumers from doing whatever they want with their purchase (effectively making it so you're actually renting from Sony, not buying) do absolutely nothing to stop pirates and hackers from doing their thing. Five years of trying to defeat pirates have resulted not in stemming piracy, but in pissing off their customers. Remember, this isn't just Sony, it's the whole content creating industry. Every single thing they have done to stop piracy has failed miserably and has done more to piss off good customers than hurt pirates. The question is, Will Sony learn, or will they try again with something else? Next time they may destroy themselves by pushing their customer base over the line.
