ha!  Sony really messed up!

apparently the search for copyright protection breaches someone elses
licensing agreement!

"According to this Dutch article the Sony DRM software (or rootkit, if you
may prefer) contains code from the LAME MP3 encoder project, which is
licensed under the LGPL. However, the source code has not also been
distrbuted, hence breaching the license"

Sony however is recalling all rootkit installing CD's:
