Free Music Notes for Get Right with the Man
Free Music Review: Excellent cd, Don't buy it
Hit: 5 Stars
This cd, like all new cd's from Sony, will infect your computer with a virus that cannot be removed. If you have already played this cd on your computer, the only way to eliminate the virus is to remove the hard drive and throw it away. Or better yet, mail it to Sony and tell them you want a new one. For more information search Sony xcp. This is a great cd, but unfortunately the Van Zant's record label is in the virus writing business. Free Music Review: Stop freakin' out and buy the CD.

Ok this CD is really great, it's a mix of southern rock and country, and it's turned out as a hard-rockin country cd.But what else would you expect from the Van Zants? The whole Sony thing that went on, yeah that was wrong, but why blame these guys? They didnt do it. They just made the usic. They went to the studio and recorded it. That's all they did. They didnt put the software on the cd. SONY did! Blame Sony. Not a couple of hard workin' guys who had no clue! Here's what Johnny said and I totally agree.
"It's kind of unfair to us," Johnny Van Zant said of the whole affair, no doubt echoing the thoughts of other Sony BMG artists whose albums are now UNFAIRLY (ALBIET SOMETIMES HILARIOUSLY)TRASHED,TAGGED OR WHOLLY IGNORED IN FAVOR OF COPYRIGHT BICKERING AT Amazon.com.
Here's what Donnie said
"Look, what we do is write music, we make music," said Donnie Van Zant, who like most artists had no idea what sort of security features, if any, his label would place on the album. "I really don't even know what DRM means, to be honest with you.
They didn't know,ok? Don't boycott them. Sony has pulled the cd's there are new cd's without the XCP junk. Buy that. Don't blame it on them, blame it on Sony.I definitely reccomend this cd. It is great. It's the best thing that's hit country music since Johnny Cash.So sto acting like jerks and buy the new cd that doesn't have XCP.
Free Music Review: Great Southern Rock lives again
Hit: 5 Stars
Call it rock-a-billy, southern rock or country rock, it is alive and well. This cd is well worth the wait and the price. It fits well in te tradition of the Van Zant family.Free Music Review: Turns out Sony Gonna Tell Them What to Do...
Hit: 1 Stars
Much has been written about the awful software included on this CD. However, I'm surprised by the rush to let Van Zant off the hook. Many (8?) months have passed since the album was first released this way, and nearly two months have passed since a security researcher finally discovered what this CD did to people's computers. Everyone seems to assume that they are deeply upset about the mistreatment of their fans by the record label, but simply lack the courage to speak out against it.
I guess this could be true, but if it is I'll never be able to listen to their music in the same way. Please tell me they aren't really just cowards who put on an act to sell music! I think I'd rather believe they are fine with sticking it to us. Or better yet, maybe they will still turn around and speak out against what is happening here like many other bands in the same situation have already done. In the meantime, I for one am not impressed with Van Zant's handling of the issue.
Free Music Review: Security Issues with this CD persist after Sony's "patches"
Hit: 1 Stars
An update on the "rootkit" issue with this CD. Sony (and VZ, on their web site) have produced two or more "patches" that claim to address the security holes found in this CD. You should understand that security researchers have so far found that all of the patches so far released install ADDITIONAL security holes in your Windows computer. Details demonstrating the damaging effects of using this CD on a computer are available here:

It is irresponsible for Sony and VZ to continue producing this item, as it can leave your computer deeply vulnerable to being overrun by computer hackers.
