Zitat von maestro am 16 November, 2005, 0859 Uhr

"More than half a million networks, including military and government sites, were likely infected by copy-restriction software distributed by Sony on a handful of its CDs, [...] which has installed an exploit-vulnerable rootkit with at least 20 popular music titles on PCs all over the world. "

For the sake of copyprotection Sony CDs do not only install spyware on your computer, but leave the door wide open to virus programs exploiting the features of said hidden Sony programs - while every script kiddie would be busted and jailed already, this is Sony, member of the RIAA and defender of the innocent, how could we dare thinking about prosecution.. 🙄

Boycott them i say 😈
