Just in case anyone is interested here our some updates to what is going on with the Sony debacle... It appears that hundreds of thousands of networks were affected by this brilliant (sarcasm) move by Sony, and now to top it off there is supposedly a huge security hole caused by the patch to remove it... I am wondering if any criminal charges will be filed against Sony for this. (Sorry to post news instead of a question, but since this was brought up in a previous thread a few days ago I thought some ppl might be interested in some story links...)

There have already been two lawsuits filed against SONY and at least one virus that exploits their DRM "hole" to propogate. I wouldn't be buying Sony stock anytime soon.
