Are you ****ing kidding me?
Poor design
Russinovich presented evidence that the software employs unsafe procedures to start/stop the rootkit, which could lead to system crashes (Blue Screen of Death) and that inexpert attempts to uninstall the software can lead to the Windows operating system failing to recognize existing drive(s). The Sony rootkit is designed to hide any files, registry keys and processes whose name starts with the string $sys$, making it very easy for writers of worms and other malware to also hide their files by simply using the same name. Within weeks there were several trojans and worms taking advantage of this functionality in machines already compromised by the Sony rootkit.
Other actions
It was reported on December 24, 2005 that then-Florida Attorney General Charlie Crist was investigating Sony BMG spyware.[31
New York and California class action suits
Class action suits have been filed against Sony BMG in New York and California.[29
And another lawsuit filed in Texas. Sony is a bunch of flaming ****ing idiots. Piracy, is another problem. But as far as we, the people, owning this system, is our right. Not theirs.
