This is a public service announcement... without guitar.
"EFF has released a list of CDs known to have Sony's deadly rootkit DRM technology [these CDs are being sold in NZ too]. If you were unfortunate enough to buy one of these CDs and you've since put it in your PC, Sony may have corrupted your computer already. In the future, think twice before buying any Sony music - what's worth more, your computer, or a CD?"
