Morning Spyware Fix |
MTV reports: After answering many e-mails
about the [Sony copy protection spyware] debacle, My Morning Jacket posted
a link on their official site detailing how fans can bypass the MediaMax

work, the band members said they will happily burn fans a CD of the album,
completely free of copy-protection software. "As our fans have been experiencing
varying degrees of difficulty with the copy-protection mechanism employed
by Sony BMG, we have responded to each e-mail with an apology ... assuring
them that My Morning Jacket was not responsible for the decision," Martinovich
wrote in a statement to MTV News [see full story for more including details
