In the latest chapter of the ongoing story of Sony BMG's flawed copy-protection software, New York Attorney General Eliot Spitzer is calling for retailers to immediately pull the albums off their shelves. Spitzer also chided stores for not yanking the CDs before the Christmas shopping season began.

According to Business Wire, Spitzer's office sent investigators out to buy the specific CDs in question after Sony BMG's recall had been enacted. The investigators were easily able to purchase the albums at all of the largest music retail stores. In a statement, Spitzer said, "It is unacceptable that more than three weeks after this serious vulnerability was revealed, these same CDs are still on shelves, during the busiest shopping days of the year. I strongly urge all retailers to heed the warnings issued about these products, pull them from distribution immediately, and ship them back to Sony."

A spokesperson for Sony BMG told Business Wire that the company "is committed to getting all copies of the 52 affected titles off store shelves" and retailers were sent another reminder the day before Thanksgiving (November 23) to pull the CDs with the XCP copy-protection.
