Sony BMG copy protection rootkit scandal

Morons:

Sony BMG initially denied that the rootkits were harmful. It then released an uninstaller for one of the programs that merely made the program's files invisible while also installing additional software that could not be easily removed, collected an email address from the user and introduced further security vulnerabilities.

That’s wild. I’m surprised I never heard of this. Straight up malware.

In a just society the Sony execs would have been jailed for CFAA violations.
