To those concerned.....

Sony has more or less admitted to the malware aspect of this DRM methodology. They don't say it in so many words, of course, but they now provide a means to remove the DRM rootkit.

Over on http://www.shellcity.net, I found this link: http://cp.sonybmg.com/xcp/english/form14.html Note that it's merely a form asking for the removal tool(s). I haven't tried it, I don't have the problem, so please don't blame me if they end up sticking you with yet more BS. This is one case where it's really caveat emptor!
