Good article in Wired: The Cover-Up Is the Crime, about the rootkit installed by a Sony audio CD with copy protection. Sony tries to focus on the file hiding bit with making fixes available, but as Wired (and others) write: Sony is breaking into your computer, tresspassing. Also a good comment in Freedom to Tinker, and seen in The Register: Removing Sony's CD 'rootkit' kills Windows.
