Sony DRM Offending List

As an avid music listener, I am most concerned that we may not be aware when people purchase offending CD's, either for personal use or as gifts for other unsuspecting users.
I would require that a list be published by users and Sony of all offending titles.
I would further require that Sony, and all its subsidiaries be compelled, either by law or by the retailers, to publish that list and display it prominantly at all retail outlets so we can readily identify the offensive CD's and avoid them.
Further, Sony should be forced to pay for the space required to post these warning lists. This would give the needed incentive to the retailers to enforce this plan in each and every outlet. If you don't pay the retailers, they're not too excited about extra work and lost space.
The negative exposure would force Sony to get off its duff and make some real and public changes. I, for one, am wondering whether recent sound tracks I bought could be infected, but I'm not going to put them into my computer just to find out.
It's moronic behavior like this that will drive the public further and further into file sharing rather than to the direct distributor; they know they're taking chances with FTP, and they can/will accept that; but to be shot down by corporate snipers is intolerable.
Sorry Sony, but I can't trust you any more. How many honest buyers in the world will after this?
