These are more cd's that bear a different but as bad security virus/trojan . Here's a c/p from 'way down in the fine print . . . . sorry to use this technique, but the article has many pages to wade thru and this is much more expidicious this way . Sony BMG's new corporate anthem: The Benny Hill Theme: The Sony BMG Music fiasco just keeps getting worse . For the second time in as many months, the company has been forced to admit that the digital rights management technology included on some Sony discs poses a serious security risk to those who play them in their PCs . This security vulnerability is distinct from the one reported in early November and affects a whole new batch of CDs . "It's a privileged escalation attack," Kurt Opsahl, staff attorney for the Electronic Frontier Foundation, the organization that brought the flaw to Sony's attention . "On Windows you can have users with different privileges, and because of security weakness in the permissions of a folder, it allows a low-ranked user to act as a high-ranked user . " Ain't that unbelievable? Hopefully this meltdown will help the recording industry realize that copy-protection software is bad for everyone, consumers and labels alike . Good Morning Silicon Valley is written and edited with the able assistance of John Murrell .	SurferJoe46 (51)
