Beware of Sony and Rootkits


Pretty interesting article I just came across and thought appropriate to share with this forum.

SONY LOST-read today's NYT. Sony is recalling all cd's with copy protection. For once, the little guy wins!
How do I join the class action on this issue with Sony? I have a movie soundtrack from Asia which has this kind of software on it. So I think the list of the problem CDs will grow when the news spread.

Are Sony trying to destroy the evidence by collecting the CD back?
If you’re a little guy whose computer has already been corrupted by Sony’s malfeasance, it is a hollow victory to say the least.
