Anchor: SONY-BMG Music Entertainment had a sour note this week after consumers protested copy protection features on many of its CDs.
So what's all the fuss about? Scott Bleier: This is a typical example and probably (the) most egregious example of what's called DRM or Digital Rights Management. Anchor: And some have said that it opens up a security portal into your computer so that people can use your computer or maybe attack it. Scott Bleier: It's a Trojan virus malware, you know, there is a lot of these things out there and it's a big problem for consumers, and it's a big issue for Windows users because Windows is particularly vulnerable to the stuff.
Anchor: I understand Sony's apologized and there is a patch available if you are concerned about it. Scott Bleier: Let's hope so. Anchor: Good to have you Scott! Scott Bleier: Thank (you)!
