Hi kacir,

I am a software author myself. If I licenced a 3rd party DRM package for use on my software CDs in good faith, who would you blame if the DRM messed up your computer? Me, or the company who produced the DRM software? Doubtless I would be legally responsible, since it was my software that you bought, but could I really be "blamed" for it?

Isn't this the situation with Sony? That they licenced this DRM package in good faith from another company? One may disagree with their decision to impose DRM on music CDs (I certainly don't think it's a good idea), but is it really Sony's fault that it all went horribly wrong?

Don't you think that you might be blaming the wrong people for this?
