Didn't even the Sony rootkit allow a few legal copies to be made?

Oh, yeah. That more than makes up for them leaving my computer vulnerable by installing undetectable software.

/sarcasm

First you defend Planned Parenthood, then the UN authored DMCA, now the Sony rootkit. We're all getting a good idea of where your loyalties lie.

That's your response? Geez. No, the Sony BMG rootkit did not allow even a few legal copies to be made without installation of illegal & potentially dangerous spyware, installed without knowledge or consent. The discovery of which was a violation of the DMCA you're saying doesn't provide enough penalty for pirates...and people who actually care to find out if illegal spyware has been installed without consent on their computer.

Anyone who downloaded Sony BMG's patches is also in violation of the DMCA. All this is okay with you, though, since permitting the spyware allowed users to make a few legal copies?

You're quite a piece of work.

Oh so it must have been an OK rootkit then?

BTW I would be careful from installing from SONY a foreign entity that is a known source of root kits... AKA a foreign hacker site
