Root Kit DRM Company Gets Sued

0 views
In an almost comical turn about, the company that provided Sony with one of the two horrific DRM systems in October of 2005 is now facing a lawsuit. MediaMax worked on controlling the number of copies that a person could make with a CD, and has cost Sony some 5.75 million dollars to settle the lawsuits that arose from the use of MediaMax.
It began including MediaMax on some of its compact discs in August 2003 and shipped about 4 million CDs equipped with the technology in 2005. The record company also drew complaints over another type of copy-protection software that restricted CD duplication. Last fall, the company agreed to pay a total of $5.75 million to settle the litigation and resolve investigations by officials in several states. Source:
