Ritek fish-and-chips spyware

p2pnet.net News:- U-Tech Australia has teamed up with the entertainment cartels to force Consumer Control COD'n'chips spyware into the homes of people who buy their products.

The idea is RFID (Radio Frequency IDentification) transmitters will be buried in discs to monitor how people who've bought them, use them. And if the purchasers do anything the music or movie studios don't like, receivers in the play-back units will close everything down, al la Broadcast Flag.

That's absolutely horrible. I can't imagine this being on the market for long before somebody sues the crap out of these people.
