Russinovich: Victory!
Good work, Mark. Really.
Mark Russinovich writes over on the SysInternals blog this morning:
I’m proud to announce a significant victory in the ongoing Sony Digital Rights Management (DRM) saga; Sony has capitulated almost entirely. While not publicly admitting blame for distributing a rootkit, providing no uninstall for the DRM software, implementing a music player that sends information to Sony’s site, and supplying a remotely-exploitable ActiveX control for the on-line uninstall they eventually made available – all without any disclosure to users – they have come close.
Of course, this [...] victory would not have happened without your participation in bringing the story to the attention of the media both in this blog and in other publications. I congratulate everyone that voiced their concern over the trend Sony’s software portended and I encourage you to continue to fight for a long-lasting resolution on the issue of software installation and disclosure.
