Story: Sony DRM rootkit 'legal in the UK'
Posted by: Lynn Macey (Saturday 5 November 2005, 1:48 AM)
Interesting that you quote the EULA after Sony hastily modified it. Prior to this week, the EULA didn't mention the part about installing software on your system. I am at a loss. If I read the license agreement and accept its terms am I, by your assertion here, bound forever to whatever changes that the issuer applies? That is patently ridiculuous.
As this is unfolding many statements by Sony are unraveling. For example, "Released only in the US" is incompatible with the statement that they press from one master worldwide.
Whether Sony is civily or criminally liable in the Us, the UK or elsewhere will likely be tested in the courts. As it stand, Sony is alredy condemend in the court of public opinion.
