BOYCOTT SONY CDS, THEIR SUBSIDIARIES AND BEWARE OF BEST BUY
On November 16, 2005 Sony announced that it had instructed retailers to remove any unsold music discs containing the rootkit software from their shelves.CLICK HERE FOR LINK TO THAT STORY This came on the heels of a firestorm of controversy and criticism from no less than the Department of Homeland Security.

I went to the local Best Buy yesterday (26th) and purchased a few CDs. I have been avoiding Sony CDs because of the latest hoopla. However, when I took my purchases home I noticed an acknowledgement to Sony/BMG on the liner notes to Carlos (Mr Free Spirit himself) Santana's newest Arista album. Apparently Sony has put this software on their other labels. Had I not read the liner notes prior to putting the CD in my machine it would have infected it. And, what is Best Buy doing selling recalled (if the recall extends to Arista) materials?
