Maybe this doesn't affect any OKOM CDs, but you might like
to know anyway.

Some Sony CDs have a bit of software on them that
gets installed on you PC (not Macs) if you play the CD on
your computer.

The software provides Sony with some sort of copy protection.
It does this using some evil stuff in the bowls of Windows.
And guess what, some evil person has developed a virus
that makes use of this.

The whole idea of installing stuff on your computer behind
your back stinks, but when this happens as well......

Time to boycott Sony CDs. Certainly don't let them anywhere
near you PC
