Well, it had to happen! Brush Teeth

Sony has "temporarily" halted the use of its [s:61e810a282]bullshit[/s:61e810a282] alleged copyright protection rootkit on music CDs. However, they will continue to use other (useless) protection schemes. Looks like a black eye is still on the horizon.....

Sony had to do something like this, if for no other reason than the fact that less than a week after it first snuck onto an un-suspecting user's drive, at least one Trojan-Zombie threat has piggy-backed onto the controversial rootkit, as predicted by nxIsle above. Get the full-meal-deal here: http://news.com.com/Sony+halts+productio...&subj=news Be sure to follow the link about the Trojan, I'll bet Sony's lawyers are gasping for breath right about now! Shock
