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.

Of course I can, because it is true. The DMCA makes it illegal.

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.

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.

Ask the noobie if he's found the definition of copyright protection yet, and if it includes the use of malware.

Also let me know when you find anyone anywhere being prosecuted for removing any malware from any computer anywhere.

At that point you will have some proof that some forms of malware can't be legally removed from your computer.
