Wow...just a few questions. What is the "rootkit" lawsuit?

Hmm, I'd found that on Slashdot as well. Very interesting find.

Interesting read. I think what they predicted could very well turn out to be true. What is the rootkit lawsuit?

When, in fact, Wikipedia does know... It's all about knowing what to search for. The Sony page (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sony) has a brief synopsis of the situation:

In November of 2005, Sony was identified as distributing aggressive Digital Rights Management software that took on the disturbing characteristics of rootkits and spyware. In relation to the so-called Extended Copy Protection application, Sony is already being sued in California and New York in the United States, and similar legal inquiries are underway in Italy.

However, delve even deeper into the myriad of articles that is Wikipedia, and one will find this page covering everything you need to know about the "Sony rootkit controversy."

It's a good read for those who have no idea what this is about. I myself have been following the situation since its original revelation (i.e, the blog post).

I'm happy to offer my services. As you may or may not already know, I am very resourceful.

Good day.
