BusinessWeek Online reports here: New York’s Attorney General has turned his attention to Sony BMG’s copyright-protection fiasco.
BUYER, BEWARE. Spitzer’s office dispatched investigators who, disguised as customers, were able to purchase affected CDs in New York music retail outlets — and to do so more than a week after Sony BMG recalled the disks. The investigators bought CDs at stores including Wal-Mart (WMT ), BestBuy (BBY ), Sam Goody, Circuit City (CC ), FYE, and Virgin Megastore, according to a Nov. 23 statement from Spitzer’s office.
Sony BMG says it shipped nearly 5 million CDs containing the software, of which 2.1 million had been sold. The company says 52 individual titles are affected.
Spitzer’s office urged consumers not to buy the disks, and if they do buy them, not to play them in computers. The disks should be returned to the place of purchase for a refund, Spitzer advises.
