Story: Microsoft to delete Sony DRM 'rootkit'

This goes beyond a simple copy protection. Several companies in the 80's went out of business as a result of punitive copy protction schemes. With a company that would engages in such paranoid activity the consumer needs to consider the management that approved those practices. I think we should no longer consider Sony a trusted name. If information can be gathered I assume that it will be. In fact once consumer information is harvested those engaged always want more detailed information. If Sony had the capability to gather information they probably at least experimented with that capability.
