Rootkits should be viwed exactly the same as other attacks on our PC's, they are secrative, no permission has been given for them to tresspass on our property and they are not neutral they do something to you. Sony's actions were disgraceful company's have no right to intrude and trespass without property. They should be legaly responsible for their actions. This reminds me of the Tesco tracking chip - who do they companiers think they are. Consumer boycotts are a good start they will soon cease these activities
