No, I'm just pointing out your factual inaccuracies. And reminding everyone this rootkit isn't anywhere near as damaging as those created using open source like the "FU" rootkit.

The damage was remediated by quick work producing removal tools.

The Sony execs should have gone to prison. I will never buy another Sony product again and have felt free to copy their CDs and DVDs sense. The originals are dangerous.

No factual inaccuracies, but even if your unbelievably wrongheaded defense of the rootkit was true so far as the copying aspect--and I maintain you're 100% wrong on that--it doesn't change much. I asked you to point me to the part of the DMCA that says that it's okay to circumvent copy protection, but I have seen no response to that request.

If you'd like to tell us how detecting and removing the rootkit does not constitute circumventing the copy protection, go right ahead.
