Like probably most of you reading this, I don't listen to a lot of the stuff that you find copy-protection on, which is to say that I've mostly seen it on pop stuff, stuff that sells a lot. Not usually the indie-type rock favored by many people here, or indie prog, or even classic rock. I've seen it mostly on a lot of the contemporary-style Country releases &, again, pop stuff, r&b, rap, stuff like that.

So I don't know how much any of this is going to matter, but this is very odd. Saw a link to it on another board I frequent. If you can get by 10 minutes of programmer jargon, a very ugly picture begins to emerge. I don't think I've put anything in my drive that this would apply to, as I've never seen the player show in the graphic, but there IS a player that managed to load itself on my computer even though I've had Autorun disabled for awhile, ever since I started using ITunes.

This is just a blog, so it could be total nonsense, but I'm not sure why anyone would to to this much trouble. Hyfi, you probably know a thing or two about this sort of thing...anyone else?
