It gets weirder.

Looks like the DRM software is infringing the Lame project's copyright.


Wow. So some Sony programmer illegally stuck some LAME code into Sony's DRM rootkit. I wonder if he was told to do that -- probably not. So someone just got fired, and possibly sued. It may have been a clever kind of protest against Sony's outrageous DRM rootkit scheme, or maybe the employee was cutting corners so that he could go home early for the weekend!
