> ... as a precautionary measure, Sony BMG is temporarily suspending ...

But the real damage is already done ...
... not the cracker exploits tho ...
... the class-action lawsuits.

The sharksuits are in the water, and they smell blood.

Have any of the mainstream commercial anti-virus and/or
anti-spyware suppliers yet provided detection for the
Sone code that actually treats it like the malware it is?

Just return Sony CDs as unplayable. Apparently they won't play without installing malwar on your computer.

Actually, I think Sony might be forced to seriously back down and replace all the Compact Discs with that rootkit code within the next few months. If one Eliot Spitzer (Attorney General-NY) gets involved you KNOW the jig is up for Sony.

To add to Sony's problems, it turned out that they built their rootkit using stolen software....
