There is a patch for it, however, it does not remove the software completely. All it does is remove the cloaking effect. Data from your CD drive is still routed through their software. It is important that if you do install this patch, you do not then delete the files willy-nilly, as you will cripple your CD drive. As soon as a full uninstaller appears, I'll post it (though I doubt it'll be written by Sony somehow) I forgot to add that bit to my article.

I fully agree - I don't rip artists off, and I don't make copies of CDs, so I don't see why I should be punished. Can I make a suggestion? Buy music online through either iTunes or MSN Music - then you don't get the crap, you slash CD sales (which tbh is the only way they will learn) and the artists still get paid. The only losers? Arseholes like Sony...
