Hey Sony, the damages from that rootkit are much more than $12 million. Much of the Sony hate comes from that single episode, in fact. I know I do hate Sony for that.
And anyway, according to Sony, the rootkit isn't a problem, because (and I quote):
"Most people, I think, don't even know what a rootkit is, so why should they care about it?" -- Sony BMG's Global Digital Business President Thomas Hesse, 2005
