It looks like they have finally recalled the offending CDs due to pressure from the Blogosphere. This guy needs to be the first one fired out of this mess:
Thomas Hesse, Sony BMG's Global Digital Business President, attempted to do just that by dismissing the online protests. "Most people, I think, don't even know what a rootkit is, so why should they care about it?" he said in a November 4 interview on National Public Radio's Morning Edition. He added, "The software is designed to protect our CDs from unauthorized copying and ripping."
Yup, he said that the people that buy Sony are stupid. They are just too stupid to even care about the spyware hidden in their BMG Music CDs. Whatever the case it looks like Sony is just going to get a slap on the wrist for all this. Let's hope some of these lawsuits have some teeth though.
