Sony: If That Wasn't Bad Enough....
[New Scientist]Possibly the most ironic twist yet in the Sony CD music "rootkit" scandal; It now appears that Sony's "anti-piracy" software developer "First 4 Internet" based the controversial "XCP" software at least in part on code from open-source projects without crediting the original authors, in violation of their open-source license requirements. Yes, Sony's draconian "copy-right infringement" prevention measures are most likely based on stolen code.
