Turns out that the Sony DRM crapware can be turned against itself:
Okay so I was so pissed about Sony using rootkit methods for hiding it's presence and limiting how many cd's you can burn. Then I had a really funny idea. Sony's masked process hides anything with "$sys$" in front of it. It also does some funking things with your cd drivers. So I re-installed the infestation of DRM hell and re-named my favorite burning software with $sys$ in front of the executable. Guess who can burn as many CD's as he wants?
Serves those bozos right :)
Update: It looks like the class action suits lining up against Sony will have plenty of incriminating fodder to pick from. That sound the Sony execs hear right about now is the rectal probes being chilled.
