Subject: SLA-SF: Sony CD warning

Just in case you haven't heard, Sony has installed a Rootkit on its
music
CDs (bad news for your computer).

This was publicized on SlashDot a few weeks ago and is all over the news

still. For example, see:
http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,1895,1887181,00.asp

and here is a good short version:
