Kurt Opsahl Sony Quotations

We're pleased that Sony BMG responded quickly and responsibly when we drew their attention to this security problem. Consumers should take immediate steps to protect their computers.

What they have done so far is a start, but it does not resolve all issues. Sony has fixed the immediate security flaw but there are other flaws. It is critical for Sony to do a robust notice campaign to make people aware of this.

Sony agreed to stop production of these flawed and ineffective digital rights management technologies. We hope that other record labels will learn from Sony's hard experience and focus more on the carrot of quality music and less on the stick of copy protection.
