Marian Call, one of our exceptional Alaskan talents, got this from a fan who took her song In The Black and put it to Firefly/Serinity footage.
All I can say is wow!
So…without further ado…..

Well I was mistaken on what would go down
I thought that with such a bucket load of evidence the lawyers would sue and Sony would quickly backpedal. Obviously I was wrong on this and the extent is out there with other companies using it as well.
After the announcement things like the tale of a World of Warcraft Hack come out that use the malware to bypass the anti cheating schemes. In the meantime, First 4 Internet refutes the claims this is malware, but Mark Russinovich
retorts and shows more evidence to the contrary.
In the midst of the uproar (especially as it draws more media attentions), the lawyers start to frenzy to the tune of lawsuits.
Sony decides to backpedal especially after Micro$oft determines it’s malware so Sony comes out with “patch”
to remove cloaked software, however it’s found it doesn’t work (more here)!
Now…the damage is done there are now viruses being written to exploit the software.
Maybe “The Constant Gardener” wasn’t too far off with the tagline “The Conspiracy is Global”

Don’t play Sony CDs on your PC!!!!
SysInternals.com guru Mark Russinovich has a detailed his investigation of a rootkit from
Sony Music. He found it installed with a copy protected music CD he recently purchased. This badly written commercial
rootkit introduces several security holes into the system that could be exploited by others, such as hiding any executable file that starts with ‘$sys$’. Russinovich also identifies several programming bugs in the method it uses to hook system
calls, and chronicles the painful steps he had to take to remove it from his system (including the disabling of his CD player on the attempt).
You do not need to be a techie to understand the article as he makes the points obviously clear!
I anticipate a lawsuit in the making here…..
