Re: Microsoft will wipe Sony's 'rootkit' and more
... why do Sony's rights to protect their product supersede the computer owner's rights to protect their equipment ? ... if they had provided a complete uninstaller as widely-distributed and easily-accessible as their DRMware, this would be a moot point ... and, as I understand from reading all these threads and links, if I decide to divest myself of their DRMware (and decline their EULA) I MUST remove their software from my computer - yet they have pointedly NOT provided me the means to do it, thereby forcing me into a violation of the law ... how can THAT be kosher ? ...
... Kevin, I wish you luck as well in this 'crusade', and would hope your lawyers take into account any loopholes that may be presented as a result of Sony's failures to properly execute code and abide by their legal obligations ... this will get uglier before it gets resolved ...
