It's about time they did this.

Sony has said it will suspend the production of music CDs with anti-piracy technology which can leave computers vulnerable to viruses.
The move came after security firms said hackers were exploiting the software to hide their creations.

The software has been used by viruses to evade detection by anti-virus programs and infect computers.

But the damage is done, many virus coders and Game Cheat writers have the idea firmly implanted in their heads, they can write rootkits into their viruses or Trojans and Cheats to hide their creations.
