Sony using Rootkit/Malware technology to enforce DRM

Filed under: Tech — Clint Sharp @ 2:58 am

I had to read the whole article to really believe to what extent Sony would go to protect one damn CD, but this software they install, with no prompting, no EULA acceptance, nothing, uses the same technology rootkits use to hide their existance on your system.  Amazing.  Read the whole thing, from Sysinternals.
