Sony Admits Screwing Up With DRM, Offers Replacements

Sony knows they screwed up finally and is now admitting their DRM allows hackers to penetrate your system and royally screw you over. So now Sony has killed it’s DRM program in the meantime and is pulling most DRM-protected CDs off the shelves. However, Sony is going to be a gentleman this time around and is offering to replace CDs affected by the XCP copy-protection software that’s embedded in the CDs if you bought some. But how can you tell if you bought one of 2.1 million CDs sold with the evil-DRM? Easy. A list was put together of 47 CDs that include the protection. So play it safe kids, and go stick it to Sony by demanding new CDs.

Only one I bought was In Your Honor by the Foos. It would be nice to have it on my iPod. Where would I take it for a replacement?

"Details about how long it will take to replace the XCP CDs and about its consumer exchange program will come later in the week, Sony said."
