Vicarious/Secondary liability for intrusions based on rootkit technology. That EULA will bow down when someone other than the PC owner inserted the CD. DMCA complaints *against* sony for circumventing the security of a computer holding copyrighted works and a trafficking charge in distributing the rootkit software with their CDs. A whole can of worms this is.
