yhes this is an absolutely insane bit. You can decline the EULA but it
still installs the software. wtf?! And sony's EULA is prety damb
insane, too. Like if you get burglarized and they steal your cds, you
have to delete the songs off your computer. If you move outo fthe
country, you have to delete the songs off your computer.
Sony sucks... i might put this in my .sig
