There is no way SonyBMG can explain this away. Their actions are more than unethical! Imbedding self-cloaking malware on CD's is worse than a hacker trying to gain access to a pc with an email. Hackers rely on your ignorance to gain access to your world; SonyBMG s taking payment for it. I look forward to Microsofts security tools, and hope they continue to help police idiots like Sony.
