    Ok, F4I will be burned for the rootkit, MediaMax 4.0, 5.1 and ever other version are still OK.

    So these CDs will still install DRM on your PC if you decline the EULA. Great!

    So until 2008 no more rootkis from Sony. But just wait for the 2008 releases...

    Should'nt this be a default???

    But unknown vulnerabilities because of bad design are OK?

    This settlement is a laught!
    The XCP-CD should have already been recalled and they say that they will not release any obvios maleware for the next two years. Great, just great...
