darknet.org.uk — Now after the huge Sony BMG Rootkit fiasco, this has become quite a hot topic, how far can vendors go to enforce their ?Digital Rights Management?, can they install a rootkit on your machine and hook into your OS? Can they take over your PC just so they can check you aren?t pirating their music?

Rootkits dont take over your computer. They hide running aplications. There are loopholes in the rootkit, however, that can allow crackers to take over computers IF the computer is not firewalled.
