Sony, Rootkits And Digital Rights Management Gone WAY Too Far
Tuesday, 01 November 2005 by Michel Roth
A bit OT but a must read: on Mark Russinovich's Blog there's an excellent article about him discovering a rootkit on his system an tracking it to a DRM protected Sony audio CD. It's pretty deep (as usual) but definitely worth the read. It boils down to Sony using DRM software to install rootkit-like software in order to prevent illegal copying.

Mark is very forgiving. I for one think it's outrageous!

Read Mark's Blog here. Be sure to read the comments too.
