No kidding. I hope this gets very public and very nasty for Sony. Not that I condone such actions, but I would like to see Sony have to deal with the backlash of virus problems because of a simple naming scheme.

I've tired of Sony's products getting worse while the only that that has grown is thier greed. Without going into thier manufacturing labor practices and greed with trying to force artists, (both film and music), into making money for them, this last bit of a rootkit DRM is downright malicious.
