When it was discovered that Sony took its DRM-implementation too far it was something that didn’t escape the news. It was discussed all over the place, and didn’t give Sony high thoughts.
Sony has reacted, and posted a service pack/update that removes the cloaking technology. But does it apologise? No - instead it downplays the problems, saying it wasn’t malicious and didn’t compromise security.
Funny. I thought the previous article showed how easy security could be compromised…
Bad move, not to apologise. If Sony doesn’t regret the actions, what can we expect from the company later?
