Sony Rootkit Technology

Computer Associates has an anti-spyware program PestPatrol will detect and remove Sonyīs rootkit-enabled DRM software. The Music Player uses the rootkit technology on a Sony BMG CD, to connect to Sonyīs servers and transmit information including the userīs IP address and the name of the CD and songs being played. CDs with this XCP software will not open with any other player, so the user is forced to install the "special" software to play a DRM enabled CD on their computer.
