Gentlefolk,

I’ve just learned of a copy protection system that Sony uses on some of its CDs that could cause people problems if you have a Windows machine.

An example is this Van Zant CD. Scroll down to the comments.

The first time you play it, several device drivers are copied to a hidden directory on your hard drive and a hidden application is installed. If you notice them, and want to get rid of them, don’t just delete them, you could disable your computer’s CD. For a complete explanation, go here:

You can also go to the Van Zant web site to get some information about how to unhide the software, or even uninstall it.

If you buy this from iTunes, its still legal and your PC does not have hidden software installed.
