Not really a choice
Originally uploaded by gjs.
So, I followed EFF’s advice and signed up for the settlement agreement with Sony BMG for the Rootkit software that was installed on many of their CD’s released last year (yes, I bought My Morning Jacket’s Z; no, I did not install the rootkit software on my computer). At Sony/BMG’s site, I jumped through the various hoops in order to sign up for my free album download. Then I came to the above-pictured screen, which has a list of the free albums I had access to (I can only choose one? I asked myself sarcastically). Ultimately, I couldn’t decide which album I would want taking up space on my hard drive, so I quit out and decided instead to post this miniature rant.
Based on these albums, maybe the case should have gone to trial!
