[Fsfe-uk] Sony DRM CD installs rootkit

[Kevin Donnelly]

This is quite an interesting report (though he makes a bit of a meal of it) 
detailing how a rootkit gets installed on Microsoft Windows when you use the 
media-player on a Soney DRMed CD.  An excellent example of where large 
content companies intend to go with DRM, and the fact that it's probably 
illegal in at least 3 jurisdictions doesn't seem to faze them:
