What do you expect from a company which thought it was fine to "own" their customer's PCs by including a rootkit trojan in their music CDs?

Regardless of how awesome or not Sony's products are, no one can deny that they're pretty low in customer treatment and respect. Hopefully this episode will get more people to realize that.

 

You think its the company that decided to include a rootkit trojan deliberately? Where are your sources? If true, it also could be an angry employee or an error.

It was a big scandal a while ago, and yes Sony confirmed that they did it on purpose as an extreme form of DRM. In fact they later issued a "trojan removal" program which installed a few more nasty things in itself.
