Sony Being Sued Over Rootkits

SONY IS FINALLY GOING to HAVE to answer the tough questions, it is being sued. According to the press release here, and the complaint here, the Italian group ALCEI is suing Sony over the rootkitting DRM infection. Since I don’t speak Italian(1), I will have to take the word of readers that they are doing things right.

Whoever this group is, I really hope that they win. Sony has no business doing what they are doing, and I will never buy another Sony disc until this is completely taken care of. Check out the quick posting over at The Inquirer.
