**I put the Alicia Keys CD into my computer at work. I was only going
to listen to it. It looked like it loaded something on the computer,
but far too fast for me to react and then spit up a EULA. After
reading a lot of it, I said, no damn way, and it spit the CD back out.
I haven't even listened to the whole CD because I won't play it on a
computer.
Today, after reading Brian Krebs Security Fix blog, I checked my work
computer and found that there was now a Suncomm Shared file but I
couldn't find that suspect driver (win98 at work). I'm furious that it
installed files and garbage despite the fact that I said no. Even
though I couldn't find the driver, if it's on there somewhere, it
could activate permanently if I stick another Mediamax CD in the
computer and deny that EULA as well. That won't be happening of
course.
Screw Sony and the RIAA. I do not download songs or movies, I rarely
make copies of CDs and I have an enormous collection of CDs and DVDs.
Nice way to shit on the people actually spending money on your
product. From now on, I will be closely watching my purchases.
