I don't understand the detractors in this thread. Having hidden spyware that allows open remote access into your system is a big deal. Some of us have tens or hundreds of thousands in online banks that we regularly access on these computers. Inserting a music CD should not install hidden backdoors on otherwise secure systems and leave an open door for hackers.

The way to discourage this crap is to generate a lot of noise, embarassing publicity and expensive recalls. "Boycott Sony" campaigns are a good start. News like this gets around the industry, and in future some exec looking for a quick fix will think twice before trying to install a rootkit.

Thanks for posting Flynn.
