Pretty interesting article I just came across and thought appropriate to share with this forum.

The fix that Sony put out makes the security problem even worse. Microsoft will be stepping in to clean-up Sony's mess by providing an update to Windows.

There are already several class-action lawsuits pending in LA and NY Federal court and I have a feeling this is only the beginning. Personally, I hope Sony get taken down BIG-TIME for what they did. If you or I did that, we'd be looking at a prosecution.

Need a second source before I start boycott on Sony. No, wait, I already have.
I own a Sony product and now wish I didn't. Anyone want an SCD-XA9000ES? That's dispicable.
