Update (16/11/05 10:50am) : Sony BMG pulled all DRM rootkit CDs and offer swaps. Affected CDs listed here.
Too little too late. Damages have been done, though not personally. They got caught this time. Who knows when there’ll be another BS like this one somewhere down the line where it may or may not be uncovered.

Macs are not immune to Sony’s DRM rootkit. Don’t stick any Sony/Columbia Records BMG CDs or DVDs into your computers. The bigger problem is not the rootkit itself, it’s the backdoors that it left opened for other bad apps.
I am curious as to whether any of the DRM Sony CDs are available for in Hong Kong.
Yeah, I am thinking of getting one, then sue Sony BMG in the small claims court.
Looking at the list, (un)fortunately I have no desire in getting any.
