SonyBMG has claimed that there is no "phone home" capability in this software. Unfortunately for the company, connections back home are relatively easy to detect. Some investigation quickly showed that SonyBMG's software does indeed make a connection back home when the CD is played.

Isn't that a crime? It looks like Sony intentionally mislead the customers while the compromised CDs were still available for sale.
