Hi Helmut,

Thanks for the warning - the good news is that BMG/Sony "are now
instituting a program that will allow consumers to exchange any CD with
XCP software for the same CD without copy protection", and "will shortly
provide a simplified and secure procedure to uninstall the XCP software
if it resides on your computer":

Dear BlackBox User,
I know that it is not a BlackBox topic, but I think it is so important
that everybody should know ...
I couldn't believe it. Everything is possible. Don't hear a BMG/Sony
audio CD with your computer ... Except you would like to reinstall the
whole operating system (formatting drive c:) or you don't care a
security hole.
Regards
Helmut Zinn
