Sony Sues Rootkit Maker
flyboy974 writes "Sony BMG Music Entertainment is suing the company that developed anti-piracy software for its CDs, claiming the technology was defective and cost the record company millions of dollars to settle consumer complaints and government investigations. The software in question is the MediaMax CD protection system, widely derided as a rootkit. Sony BMG is seeking to recover some $12 million in damages from the Phoenix-based technology company, according to court papers filed July 3."
wow. do you really think you know this better then sony's well paid lawyers? give me a break. just another case of a pizza delivery boy thinking he can outwit the pros.
what this is saying is that sony can not sue them because sony is sued by a customer. it didn't say that sony doesn't have a right to sue them if the software doesn't work as intended.
learn to comprehend what you read before you jump the gun.
What I was trying to say is that for someone like me who is "too dim" to spend all his time understanding the in's and out's of Sony's bussiness dealings, your post just looks like something the Riddler would write. It doesn't have a point unless you assume the reader has a thorough background in the subject.
BTW: The arroganance displayed in your reply is the saddest of all slashdot clichés.
