EMI says no rootkits from our CDs

music — by TDavid @ 10:23 am PST

Nice to see that EMI, another of the world’s largest recording companies, is taking the Sony DRM fiasco to point out that they don’t do this to their customers. This has become a PR disaster.

CNET: EMI: We don't use rootkits

“The content-protection software that we’re using can be easily uninstalled with a standard uninstaller that comes on the disc. EMI is not using any software that hides traces of the program. There is no ‘rootkit’ behavior, and there are no processes left running in the background,” said an EMI spokesman in a statement.

EMI also distanced themselves from First 4, the technology company that Sony used to create their DRM strategy saying they recently evaluated three differnt firms and First 4 wasn’t one of them. How about that? Burn!
