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.

You haven't shown any damages done to anyone by Sony. Open Source rootkits, like FU, are extremely destructive or are used to steal information from the user. I'm sure the FBI is rightfully cocentrating their efforts on those. I guess you could sue Sony, but since there were no damages, then there's the issue the user agreed to the Sony prompt of course.
