More interesting was that with Sony's rootkit installed you can hide ANY
program on the system by naming it this way. So all a virus or trojan

has listened to a Sony CD will be unable to get rid of the bastard
without special help.
I'm surprised by what you are saying. Are you saying that the Sony
software affects the functioning of the operating system so that files
with names beginning with $sys$ are no longer detectable by Windows?

Slashdot has a new one on this:

Sony Rootkit Phones Home
Interesting fact:
the DRM can be bypassed simply by renaming your favourite ripping
program with "$sys$" at the start of the filename and ripping the CD
using this file, which is now undetectable even by the Sony DRM.
