Why doesn't Sony have a website on which a customer can complain about being sold a CD which contains a Rootkit/Virus? I have several of the cdz and I wish to return them for a full refund. I will not be buying any Sony products in the future as a result of this outrageous invasion into my computer by Sony. Shame on me for actually buying these Van Zant CD rather than just downloading them from the Internet. I think Fines and Criminal action is warranted against any executive involved in putting this Virus/Rootkit on the market.
