Dave,
A related blog entry that includes:
+ a statement from a label that Sony is DRMing their
artists' work without their consent
+ instructions from the provider of the DRM software,
explaining how to defeat the DRM (!)
+ a conclusion that this is really about Sony wanting
to frustrate iTunes users
