The New York Times on Sony: The Rootkit of All Evil

Dan Mitchell writes in The New York Times:

SONY BMG can take two lessons from its recent wayward attempt to fend off digital piracy: One, in a world of technology-astute bloggers, it's not easy to get away with secretly infecting your customers' computers with potentially malicious code. And two, as many a politician has learned, explaining your own screw-up badly is often worse than the screw-up itself.

Or as Wired News put it, "The Cover-Up Is the Crime."
