[QUOTE="Deleted member 65228, post: 704320"] Sony should have just tried to locate who was responsible for pirating their content and sue them for every penny they had. Their rootkit worked for awhile but it didn't last long because SysInternals caught them out while testing out a new creation they were working on at the time - after that it was game over. Back then during those times, things were a lot different. I would say what they did was morally wrong and ethically bad, but during those times? Maybe I wouldn't have thought this, because there was less research and less laws about how things work, etc. They learnt from their mistakes though and they haven't done a repeat which is good news.
