Sony Sues MediaMax Over Defective DRM

Via /. -

Sony BMG Music Entertainment is suing the company that developed anti-piracy software for its CDs, claiming the technology was defective and cost the record company millions of dollars to settle consumer complaints and government investigations.

The software in question is the MediaMax CD protection system, widely derided as a rootkit. Sony BMG is seeking to recover some $12 million in damages from the Phoenix-based technology company, according to court papers filed July 3.

Lets play a little game....name me one DRM that isn't defective in some way?

Sony wanted the DRM, approved it and pushed out millions of CD with it....they are just trying to re-cope some money for their own mistake. That is understandable.

It is just quite funny to see Sony call their own DRM defective!

The public has been telling them that for years...
