by ZJ — 3 November 2005

Some of you may have heard about Sony BMG including rootkits with their "enhanced" CDs. Here's how to get a copy of the music you bought without compromising your system's security.

1. Download and install Ares Galaxy.
2. Open Ares, wait for it to connect, and click the Search tab.
3. Flip over the CD case and find the titles.

Who is this?

4. Select Audio, then Title. Enter a title and click Search Now.

seriously

5. Double-click a file near the top of the list.

This song is a bad idea

6. Repeat until you have a usable copy of your CD.

Congratulations, you've exercised your right to listen to the product you purchased in the medium of your choice.
