"The criticism of music giant Sony BMG Music Entertainment and its
surreptitious copy protection software went up an octave this week as

against the company on behalf of consumers."

invasive copy protection, labeling the software a "rootkit," a
digital-rights organization and four law firms are preparing cases against

attempted to take advantage of the code to hide itself on freshly
compromised Windows systems that had Sony BMG's technology installed"
