That's what I took away from the first Sony rootkit. They love their customers! Oddly, the customers themselves didn't seem to mind, and I haven't bought Sony anything since the mid 1990s because their discman and walkman products would fall apart a week after the warranty ran out. This just tells me I was right not to trust them all this time...!
It's someone else's intellectual property, but it's my physical property. If a Sony exec came in with a hammer and smashed my computer, I'd have the guy arrested. Digital destruction is no different - ask any of the virus writers who've served time.
Of course, this is assuming there really is another Sony rootkit. I didn't read the story. That's like saying Michael Jackson has been up to something strange. It's just too believable.
