P.S. Math_Genius, if it's not too much trouble, would you please consider not calling everyone with an opinion that doesn't match your own an idiot.I'll take this a step further, I think you'll find that the text book definition of an idiot is someone who DOES agree with you.

"Maybe. But if it doesn't do well it will have almost nothing to do with the recent SONY root kit scandal. The average person doesn't know squat about root kits."Mabey, but they'll be hearing a lot of bad mouthing of SONY from the press.

Sue them till the lesson is well learned over. And how about some Anti DRM commercials and propaganda just like the crud they have been shooving down our throats all these years. They finally have exploited a wound lets rip it open and bleed this company dry!!

"thats what the Bush administration did when they some how managed to "ignore" and throw out 1,000s of votes by blacks in Florida?"Those 1000s of votes were casted by white people.

> I can see Sony claiming they had no IDEA that this > software was on their disks and undisclosed.Yeah, but it was in the EULA and that shows a high degree of premeditation. I'm pretty sure that it could be demonstrated to the average layman that Sony knew *exactly* what they *thought*they were doing.Just because it's in a EULA doesn't mean it's right or even legal.Otherwise, I'm pretty sure there'd already be a PGPL (Pirates GNU Public License) out there. Or maybe we could just sum up all licenses with the preamble: "If you agree to this sh*t, moron, then I get to do whatever I want." ...yeah, that'd be fun.
