sony malware on the loose
sony wants to ownzor your computer. by using one of their new drm cds it will install software that hides, wastes system resources, hijacks your cd drive. attempting to remove the software will disable your cd drive. because the cloaking mechanism is crude it can be used by other rootkits to hide (hey look sony is helping evil things hide on your computer yay sony). malware using sony to hide will probably appear in a week.
yes this software is illegal in many US states and many countries.

tech version -- its a nerd version of an Agatha Christie novel

FUCK SONY
(oh and boycott them too)
