Thank you for contacting Sony BMG Online.

Sony BMG and First 4 Internet have just released an update that will completely remove the rootkit based DRM content
protection software and replace it with a non-rootkit DRM technology that is compatible with all current security
protocols. To ensure the security of your system, please visit their software update website to obtain and install
Service Pack 2 at:

http://updates.xcp-aurora.com

If after this update, you still wish to uninstall our software, please visit the form below using the computer where
the software is currently installed and you will be emailed an uninstall link within 1 business day (M-F).

http://cp.sonybmg.com/xcp/english/form9.html

Your "Case ID" is: 3374851.

TIP: Our uninstall request form will require a small ActiveX plug-in
        (from First 4 Internet). Be sure to also temporarily turn off any
        pop-up blocker software. Although a non-ActiveX process is in
        development, currently, our online process is the only option.
        Should you prefer to wait for the next uninstallation version,
        one is due to be released later this month at:

http://cp.sonybmg.com/xcp/english/updates.html

Thank you for the opportunity to be of assistance.

Message      : I stopped buying music a few years ago, with the rise of internet file sharing. I wasn't downloading
instead - I simply found myself unable to buy music on "CD" anymore.

I have absolutely no desire to be dictated to on whether or not I have permission to listen to a piece of music. I
have no desire to fund mechanisms that work against me as a consumer. And I certainly don't want to infect my
computers with badly written viruses (your statements on XCP are actually outright lies, nothign more nothing less).

When I want a new CD by a band I like, I go to a shop, I look for a CDDA logo. if it's not there, I don't buy it. It's
that simple. Congratulations, Sony-BMG, on ensuring I never buy any of your products again.
