The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), along with two leading national class action law firms, yesterday filed a lawsuit against Sony BMG, demanding that the company repair the damage done by the First4Internet XCP and SunnComm MediaMax software it included on over 24 million music CDs.
When MediaMax software doesn't contain as many "magic tricks" as the XCP software, it is on over 20 million CDs - ten times the number of CDs as the XCP software.
MediaMax installs files on the users computer even if they click "No" on the EULA and like the XCP, does not include a way to fully uninstall the program. Both MediaMax and XCP send data back to their owners, allowing them to track user listening habits at the flip of a switch - even though the EULA states that the software will not be used to collect personal information.
Remeber the XCP EULA states that Sony is never liable to the customer for more than 5 dollar. Would Sony like to tell me where a computer can get repaired for 5 dollars??
