Sony recalls copy-protected CDs
The fallout from a hidden copy-protection program that Sony BMG Music Entertainment put on some music CDs is getting worse. Researchers say Sony's suggested method for removing the program -- a downloadable uninstaller -- actually widens the security hole the original software created.
Sony is recalling the discs in question, but music fans who have listened to them on their computers or tried to remove the dangerous software they deposited could still be vulnerable.
