Hell, They tried to paint the guy who discovered it as a bad guy, and stated that if you didn't know it was there you had no right to complain.

User Friendly (ars.userfriendly.org) has the best summary of the sony rootkit thing to date, just follow the cartoons along.

Sony deserve all the bad press and law suits filed against them. I hope all media production companies learn that you can't violate a users machine and label it "copy protection".
