I'd love to see insider email from when the story first broke to today when Sony announced they were stopping production of XCP DRM CD's. As noted by the press today, product is still on the shelves (and in customer computers). No recall, no automatic uninstaller. (Not that I'd trust it if they provided one.) Every step has been a mile short. For me this points to execs who are way out of touch with their products.
(Waiting for that 3-stooges "Why you!... *BONK*" sequence.)
