Sony still doesn't get it. They seem to think that the rootkit code they use in their DRM is fine, it's the fact that anyone noticed that's the problem:

Music publisher Sony BMG said on Friday it would stop making CDs that use a controversial technology to protect its music against illegal copying.

"As a precautionary measure, Sony BMG is temporarily suspending the manufacture of CDs containing XCP technology," it said in a statement.

The decision follows the discovery on Thursday of the first virus that uses Sony BMG's CD copy-protection software to hide on PCs and wreak havoc.

Not "we were wrong", not "Sorry" - no, Sony is temporarily suspending the use of the rootkit software. Temporarily suspending! In fact, they say this:

Sony BMG said it stands by content protection technology "as an important tool to protect our intellectual property rights and those of our artists."

It's a sad thing, watching a once great company flush itself down the toilet.
