Sony helps hackers

Not all people dislike Sony for including a hidden rootkit (named RING0) on some of their copy protected music CD:s. Pepole trying to cheat in the online role playing game World of Warcraft are happy that RING0 helps them to hide their cheating programs from the monitoring software that Blizzard included in their game. As an honest WoW player, I would just like to say "Thank you, Sony".

Sony still refuses to admit that their rootkit is a security risk and that putting RING0 on their music CD:s was wrong. Meanwhile we can start guessing what the next illegal/immoral/irritating thing coming out of creative use of RING0 will be?
