Sony's DRM-enforcing rootkit apparently includes the LAME MP3 library, which is published under the LGPL. (A blog article can be found here) So not only do their CDs illegally trespass on your PC, but they violate LAME's copyright at the same time (by failing to make the source available)!

And apparently, the first hackers are now taking advantage of the rootkit access... A new trojan just spammed out to try to exploit it. Sony is going to have a BIG mess to try to damage control on...
