Sony BMG sued over rootkit (again), Sony sued over Playstation, PSP

Sony BMG sued over rootkit (again), Sony sued over Playstation, PSP: "A BLIZZARD of lawsuits appears to be facing Sony in its different guises after Mark Russinovich revealed copy protection software installed rootkits on people's machines.

The US Electronic Frontier Foundation is also collecting information on the case.

But Sony is also being sued by a firm which alleges it has breached multiple patents with its Playstation and PSP.

We reported a law case against Sony BMG had started in Italy. Two separate class actions have started in the USA. The EFF in the US confirmed our earlier story that a number of titles are infected by the rootkit, and gives a partial list on its site.

Despite repeated attempts to contact Sony BMG for comment over the last week, the INQ has received no reply to the questions it has asked."
