Yup, Sony is having a bad month. Sure, California was already suing them, but Cali sues everyone. This is freakin' Texas. I mean, this is the same state that execute the mentally retarded.

Sony BMG’s XCP bypassed with a bit of tape - Engadget
Gartner analysts revealed today that Sony’s XCP is “stymied by sticking a fingernail-size piece of opaque tape on the outer edge of the CD.” In other words, a bit of Scotch tape causes the PC to treat the disc as an ordinary music CD.

Ouch. Very similar to the black marker trick for Sony's original DRM. Evil ass Sony.
