I don't usually have that much patience for discussions about how terrible the big media companies are and how they're going to destroy fair use, creativity, and even free thought. That doesn't mean that I shouldn't worry about those things and maybe even feel bad about my role in them.
I am concerned, though, about what I think is a dangerous conflict between measures to protect intellectual property (and to support IP proprietors' ability to control their products) and the need to keep systems secure. The recent fuss that arose when people realized that Sony's XCP rootkit, which was supposed to help protect CDs from copying, was actually making the CD players vulnerable to viruses, shows me that my concern is not completely stupid or misplaced.
So, I feel good. If we can't take benefit from others' misfortunes, then those misfortunes are for nothing.
Here's Business Week's take on the incident:
