Finally...MP3s are better than CDs?

*lol*

Just less than a month ago, my CTW project group had just finished an article regarding MP3 piracy affecting consumers. Now, it seems like Sony (which has a record of shipping audio CDs with copy-protection software), has made a terrible flaw in its copyright protection software which creates security weakness in computers. Better still, it is impossible to remove, according to this Windows expert, who discovered it all. Part I Part II Part III Part IV

Thanks to them, now other viruses are using the software that Sony distributes to hide themselves: CNN News Report

So moral of the story is, it is safer to download MP3s than to buy CDs, cos you'll still be backstabbed by the evil "copy protection software" which the CD comes with, giving you a free dosage of virus or allowing your computer to be taken over by hackers.

Seems like my essay should have changed.
