The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

When did Sony start this?

This article in the Register says "...the Sony DRM malware has been out on the market for eight months...."

The BoingBoing article says the number of titles known to be affected is now up to 52.

Do I watch last week's OC, tape over it, or forward past it to start taping something else?

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

The BoingBoing article linked to a list of infected CDs.

It's been reported as infecting Macs, too.

That's also in the articles ita and tommy linked. You have to actively install it on the Mac (and actually it's not the same software) instead of it automatically installing.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
