Sony Rootkit Numbers Aren’t Pretty

OK…we’re sick of talking about this too, but take a look at THE NUMBERS:   

  1. 4.7 million CDs Sory_logo_4
  2. 52 titles
  3. 568,000 computer servers infected (and perhaps as many as 350,000 more)
  4. 4662 signatures on a petition to boycott Sony
  5. Number of lawsuits from artists, managers, retailers, and consumers: TBA
  6. Cost to consumer confidence when purchasing music: PRICELESS

Now Sony’s "response" requires consumers to mail back the CD to the company with a proof of purchase. When was the last time some pink haired record store clerk even gave you a receipt?.
