Well...that's a start...
Now, Sony, please tell us how you plan on dealing with the tens of thousands of PC's still out there that you've infected with this virus.

It must be nice to be a big corporation because if I were to distribute a rootkit and then stop after even a few days I'm going to get hauled off to jail and have major fines.

Sony can "stop" producing CD's, but until they pull ALL the infected CD's off store shelves, contact each buyer and make sure they have the update, make the update available on their site without the hassles, pay for EACH and EVERY instance of an infected PC...and STOP LYING TO US ABOUT THE SECUIRTY PROBLEMS, Sony has done little good here.

There are now TENS OF THOUSANDS of PC's with rootkits installed on them. Simply stopping CD production isn't going to cut it Sony.
