I don't know what rock I've been living under. Oh, wait a minute. Yes I do. It's the reality television rock. Anyway, apparently SONY/BMG has settled in the lawsuit against them for releasing millions of CDs with flawed digital rights management (DRM). If you purchased any of these CDs, you are entitled to a clean replacement CD, at the very least.
Information about the affected CDs and the settlement can be found here:
Looks like I'm getting a new Clay Aiken Christmas CD!
