Its a shame that they are dragging the feet to resolve the issue. They didn't expect the outcry to be that great. Starting with a defiant rebuttal, last week a senior SonyBMG executive Thomas Hesse, the president of SonyBMG's global digital business division, said in a radio interview: 'Most people don't even know what a rootkit is so why should they care about it?'
Either he is the one who does not understand the implication(technical/security) of a rootkit or he is mastermind of this idea. Eitherway, I can imagine how he is going to face the music not only from the media but also from Sony's management.
