Well, Sony is on the hot plate now, sued by the state of California for having the DRM Root Kit. It seems that it violates several California laws. If this goes through, they may not be able to sell these CD’s in California at all.

Well seems California has filed and Ney Nork will soon file suits against Sony?BMG for the installation of rootkits on to Windows machines.

The EFF (Electronic frontier Foundation) is also investigating on whether a class action suit can be filed.

If I was a Sony artist I might be getting concerned about now and looking to jump ship.
