Sony to pay out $150 to each customer infected by rootkit
Over a year ago, Sony BMG loaded DRM on their CDs, and when you put it in your computer’s CD ROM drive, you get a rootkit. When you tried to remove it, the rootkit screwed up your computer. Sony has just agreed to pay out $150 to customers infected by the rootkit in order to “repair damage done.”
Sony will also need to provide an uninstall tool and patches to repair any damage done by their rootkit.
