We Take the Heat and Pass The Buck On To You - Bob Schroeck - 07-16-2007
Sony sues the folks who made their rootkit. Because, of course, it's their fault everyone got so upset about it.

here's hoping this gets thrown out of court, and the judge makes Sony pay all legal fees involved, and a 'spurious lawsuit' fine.Wire Geek - Burning the weak and trampling the dead since 1979Wire Geek - Burning the weak and trampling the dead since 1979

It should be noted, as it says in the article, this is *not* the rootkit (XCP by First 4 Internet) that caused the big scandal. This is *another* product that also had rootkit-like properties, from a company called Amergence/SunnComm.
From what *I* can surmise, Sony isn't suing them because of the trouble, they're suing them because their crappy software got *caught*.--
