The Sony rootkit fiasco continues to make the news. This one is really interesting….a post at the Freedom to Tinker blog states that hidden code in the XCP copy protection can actually add Apple’s DRM and provide iPod/iTunes compatibility, and furthermore the hidden code was itself infringed from an open source project! So in summary, the DRM that is supposed to prevent infringement actually contains code that can infringe, but that code itself was infringed by the DRM which was meant to prevent infringement.

Got it?

You’ve got to read it for yourself….
