[funsec] Sony, Rootkits and Digital Rights Management Gone Too Far

[Larry Seltzer]

>>Does anyone have the EULA for this? I'm curious as to whether or not it
explicitly states that it installs rootkit-like software.

The Russinovich piece
(http://www.sysinternals.com/blog/2005/10/sony-rootkits-and-digital-rights.h
tml) deals with this issue. No, the EULA doesn't mention it, and gives the
false impression the software is uninstallable.
