Do you own these CDs?

All the hubub seems to have died down from the Sony BMG music scandal. My heroes at the Electronic Frontier Foundation have sued Sony, and now both parties have agreed to a settlement.

If you own any CD on this list, have Sony replace it for free, and check your computer if you ever have put the CD into it.

In case you haven’t been following, here's a rundown of what happened.

• Sony used a new type of DRM scheme that surreptitiously installs software onto your computer.
• Sony’s software installs without permission after inserting the music CD into your drive.
• The software worked so closely to your operating system that it opened up serious security holes and would ruin your drive if removed.
• The world found out.
• The EFF, and others, stood up for the consumers rights, suing Sony.
• The good guys one.

I, luckily, don’t have anything on the list, having bought only three CDs in the past 2 years. I was frightened to notice that some of the artists I own do have CDs on the list, just not mine: Amici Forever, Britney Spears (I know, I know—but I was sixteen and she was prettier before her “knee” surgery), Foo Fighters and Our Lady Peace.

Feeling kind of crazy, I recorded this post as a blogcast. Check it out if wish.
