On a related note, there appears to be some version for OS X around too. Of course, they ask for your password on cd insertion.

I'm sure someone will fall for it. "Hmmm, asking for my password to play an Audio CD....why not?"

It's too bad that they unleashed this as someone has already implemented this crap. I hope they get their sorry asses whipped but good! http://www.theregister.co.uk/2005/11/10/sony_drm_trojan/

I don't get sony. Is this supposed to make people who download music with p2p stop?

I don't very much like sony to begin with, but I for one one will never ever buy another one of their products after this.
