If AnyDVD is installed and active on your PC, the new so-called "Sony DRM Rootkit Virus" has no access to your system and the affected audio CD appears unprotected regardless! Another good reason to get AnyDVD!
normally i would never post something like this but those ^@#$%@$% at sony need to be stopped with their virus.
I have a better solution; I don't buy Sony products.
Return it for a clean one. Sony will announce this week how they plan to replace the DRM cd's already out there.
Next version of Microsoft anti spam will remove this if it is on your machine.....
There is far more music that I would like than I can ever afford, so I usually by Indy artist stuff by mail order or huge inexpensive import compilations. It is not to defeat the RIAA viruses, you must not fund them.
I had a problem tonight while trying to burn a CD with Real Player. A lady had heard one of my Christian CD's that I'd given the Minister at a small Church in Georgesville. Well, she called me tonight and asked me if there were some way she could buy one. I told her I give her one free and have my husband drop it off at the church in a few minutes.
But when I tried to burn a CD with Real Player, it told me I couldn't. It said the music file was copyright protected. Say what!!!! It's my own song! I created it on my own computer! How in the world could this happen? I've used Real Player to burn my own music (Music I wrote and recorded myself) for years! Now tonight it say's I can't burn my own music, I wrote and created?? EEKKKKK!
I used an old program of another type to burn the CD for the lady but this is crazy. I guess I got an update to my Real Player software that I wasn't aware of. I hate that these companies take over our computers and do these things to us with out our knowledge. It sucks!
that's funny, it microsoft that ALLOWED that crap to be loaded without you knowing.
Also, (for us dumb blondes) how can I tell if I have it, and what program(s) can I use to remove it?
Cool product. I hope it's posted on kazza soon and lots of people steal it.
I would agree I was smiling when I posted this....bring on the microsoft comments!!!!!!
[snicker] There’s thousands of bootleg copies posted there now.
i understand your sarcasm but this product is made to watch your legal copies on your computer.
now their product cloneDVD.....ummm..nevermind.
Hmmm.... I don't recall that ever happening to me...yet... I must be safe for now.
bump
My son has anyDVD for the past year, and I thought I remember seeing that they weren't going to update it anymore? He's been getting update emails, so obviously this isn't so. Had you heard this? BTW, anyDVD is well worth the money.
they changed ownership or something, and i think it was cloneCD that got the cut, i really don't understand myself.
slysoft and elby are two different companies with the same product. who knows???
