  1. They were great about ten years ago, but they garnered a lot of ill-will with their anti-p****y efforts (putting rootkits on CDs, etc.). I'd say Apple makes the top-notch stuff now.

    From WikiPedia:

    "The Sony BMG CD copy prevention scandal concerns the copy prevention measures included by Sony BMG on compact discs in 2005. Sony BMG included the Extended Copy Protection (XCP) and MediaMax CD-3 software on music CDs. XCP was put on 52 titles[1] and MediaMax was put on 50 titles.[2] This software was automatically installed on Windows desktop computers when customers tried to play the CDs. The software interferes with the normal way in which the Microsoft Windows operating system plays CDs, opening security holes that allow viruses to break in, and causing other problems. It is widely described as malware.

    As a result, a number of parties have filed lawsuits against Sony BMG; the company ended up recalling all the affected CDs; and greater public attention was drawn to the issue of commercially-backed spyware."


  2. i think so. It is the best brand since then
