Sony Settles Rootkit Class Action Suit; Downloads Galore (Dec 29 2005 17:58 GMT) - While Sony was incredibly slow to react to the whole rootkit fiasco when it first broke, the company is now rapidly trying to clean up the mess it caused. The latest is that the company has agreed to settle a class action suit filed over the matter. Beyond the basic recall they had already announced, consumers who return an XCP-infected CD will get to download either three free albums from a list of 200 albums, or a cash payout of $7.50 for their troubles. While Sony still refuses to recall CDs that include the SunnComm MediaMax copy protection (which installs without permission), they will let people download the MP3s of the albums they purchased with that software on it. |
