Laugh all you want but it's your hypocrisy being exposed. You can't claim you don't want this on your computer because it's malware, which it is, then claim you could be arrested for removing it, even though it's malware. No one will ever be arrested for removing obvious malware, which is why you still can't find a single person out of the millions who removed this being threatened by anyone in law enforcement, anywhere. Nor will you ever.
Yea that would require an unfair law and we would have to have a whole thread about that /sarcasm
None of which changes the fact that DMCA, your darling legislation straight from the UN, which you have defended with the faithfulness of a husband defending his wife, says that it's illegal to remove copy protection. And the whole reason that Sony included the rootkit was copy protection, despite your protests that it has to be "either or".
Just because it's not prosecuted doesn't mean that people aren't breaking the law when they do it.
Of course I can, because it is true. The DMCA makes it illegal.

That is a completely irrelevant red herring. I can understand your desire to obfuscate your support of the Sony rootkit and the DMCA that protects it. Nonetheless, enforcement is irrelevant. It's still illegal.
