PC Pro: News: UPDATED: Sony DRM company declares rootkit issue 'old news' and offers fix UPDATED: Sony DRM company declares rootkit issue 'old news' and offers fix 10:42AM The company behind the technology used in Sony's controversial DRM technology has spoken out following the revelations around 'rootkit' code installed with Sony music CDs. Mathew Gilliat-Smith, CEO of first4internet told us 'For us this is old news, things have moved on ... These CDs have been out on the market for eight months now, and I think we first should establish that this is not malware, nor was it created with the intention of malware, [the rootkit component] is really just a methodology for hiding files.'
It has been out for a while? Does everyone know to go to the Sony site and cliclk on the help page. Is it time for a warning label for the legal users.
