District of Columbia Files Suit Against Sony BMG
Via Finkelstein, Thompson & Loughran.
Finkelstein Thompson & Loughran filed a lawsuit against Sony BMG yesterday for their use of Digital Rights Management software on their music CDs. This suit was filed by a resident of the District of Columbia on behalf of the general public of the District for allegedly false and deceptive trade practices.
The lawsuit against Sony BMG concerns the damages incurred by consumers and caused by Sony’s spyware-infected CDs. Sony has encoded over 24 million CDs, sold worldwide, with “spyware” programs that act as copyright protection software. These spyware programs compromise the security of a user’s computer as well as transmit data about users back to Sony through the internet, allowing the company to track users’ listening habits.
If you are a consumer who bought a CD that is included on the list below and would like to discuss this matter, please contact Karen Marcus at Finkelstein, Thompson & Loughran’s Washington , DC office at (202) 337-8000 , by email at kjm@ftllaw.com, or by completing the case inquiry form [on their website here].
