Nov. 21st, 2005 08:59 pmA short recap for those late in the game: SysInternals' Mark Russinovich discovers that Sony CD's hijack and expose PC's to viruses. It also phones home, and has a broken uninstaller, but thankfully you can manually remove it (scroll down to near "EULAs and Disclosure"). It gets a ton of press, a lawsuit from Italy's EFF clone and California, and forces Sony to pull the CD's. New York seemlingly is considering prosecution, but it better hurry, because...
Texas is prosecuting!
Isn't this level of hacking a shootable offence?
