More Sony Root Kit Goodness: Defeat their DRM with a piece of tape!

This is great! A piece of tape in the right place and their digital rights management is utterly ignored. And this isn't the first time that something this primative has defeated DRM: a few years ago someone released some CDs with DRM, a clever person noticed that there was a gap on the CD between the DRM program and the music, so they took a black felt tip pen and colored over the outer ring up to the ring between the DRM and the music -- POOF! no more DRM hassle.

This is pretty much the same thing.
