Texas sues Sony BMG for spyware violations - Yahoo! News: "HOUSTON (Reuters) - Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott filed a civil lawsuit on Monday against Sony BMG Music Entertainment (6758.T) for hiding 'spyware' software on its compact discs in a bid to thwart music copying.
According to the lawsuit filed in Travis County, several of the company's music compact discs require customers to download Sony's media players if they want to listen to the CDs on a computer.
Software included with that media player 'remains hidden and active' after installation, the Attorney General's office said, and makes users vulnerable to security risks and possible identity theft."
