Did Someone Not Pay Attention? Rootkits Found On New DVDs

You would think, given all of the negative publicity surrounding the Sony BMG rootkit fiasco, that any company releasing content with copy protection would be careful to make sure that copy protection didn’t use rootkit-like functionality.

It’s not going to stop now apparently! Check out the posting at TechDirt.
