This is NOT a HOAX. Please be very careful what CD's you listen to or upload onto your computers because Sony BMG has stealthily incorporated a rootkit type device that unknown to you installs malicious type malware or spyware onto your hard drive. This was an attempt by them to prevent people from copying their music onto their hard drives. This is so completely out of order and apparently totally illegal! Sony are in major shit with this!
