Sony BMG repents over CD debacle
Sony BMG is rethinking its anti-piracy policy following weeks of criticism over the copy protection used on CDs.
The head of Sony BMG's global digital business, Thomas Hesse, told the BBC that the company was "re-evaluating" its current methods.
It follows widespread condemnation of the way anti-piracy software on some Sony CDs installs itself on computers.
The admission came as Sony faced more censure over the security failings of one of its copy protection programs.
He said it was too early to say where Sony was in the evaluation process or what might result, but he said the company was taking the re-examination very seriously.
