Sony anti-customer technology roundup and time-line

Boing Boing has been tracking
the Sony rootkit controversy.  This is an awesome piece of code
found on regular Sony audio CDs that screws up your PC (Mac or Windows)
so that Sony can do what they want to it.  Oh yeah - their removal
tool screws up your Windows installation.  Plus it creates a huge
security hole that has already been exploited by hackers. 



Thanks a lot, Sony.
