So does this give me any kind of legal precedence against the Macrovision
Corporation for installing their unsolicited SafeDisc copy protection driver to
my PC? It is suggested there may be a local local privilege-escalation
vulnerability similar to the kind that Microsoft has patched in their own

O yes, if you've Installed any games or programs using SafeDisc *and there are
lots of them* it is there.

I wouldn't be at all surprised if Sony's own SecuROM protection has something
similar.
