[d@DCC] SONY'S CD ROOTKIT - Is clamed to infring LGPL copyright.

[Charles MacDonald]

I have seen this claim in a few places now. Don't you think that the
RCMP  might want to talk to SONY, assuming that rootkit was distributed
in Canada?  Stauitary damages are several thousand dollars a copy are
they not?
