So It's Old News By Now . . .

I was ridiculously occupied with the mundane today, and so didn't get to post much. But this is great stuff. What is it with Texas Attorneys General suddenly acting like cowboy heroes? Greg Abott, the state attorney general, has sued Sony over its stupid attempt to protect its IP by secretly installing spyware on computers. I rarely have the opportunity to say: "That's my state attorney general, and he's doing good." But looky here:
"Thousands of Texas consumers have bought Sony BMG CDs," Abbot said in a video posted at the Attorney General's Web site. "People buy these CDs to listen to music, what they don't bargain for is the consumer invasion that's unleashed."
