Anywhere you want you want to look rootkits are defined as malware, which is why no one has or ever will be indicted for removing them.
You guys are the biggest jokes on the planet, claiming the FBI will be going after people who remove rootkits rather than those who are unleashing them.
But I'm glad you don't realize how foolish you look, since that is exactly why more and more laws like this will continue to pass.
Enjoy the fruits of your labor LOL!
Oh, and have the FBI done ANYTHING to Sony for releasing this rootkit on it's unwary consumers?
Believe me, if this law is enforced, and eventually, despite your protests, it will be, the enforcement will come against consumers, not producers of rootkits like Sony.
Keep your head in the sand, though, and keep in lockstep with the UN as our rights to privacy and due process are slowly eroded away.
Why is it that you assume if you think something is true it must be so. The common usage of language is not a determining factor so far as the law in concerned. Please find for me in the DCMA the definition of root-kit and the exception for back engineering and removing the root-kit.

Did I claim the FBI will be going after them? I and others have claimed that the DCMA lays legal ground for them to do so but nobody has said they will. A bad law is bad before its enforcement, not just because of it.
