Back when this was making headlines at BoingBoing, people were outraged but not that suprised, wonder what the latest tail on this is.

It has indeed gotten so bad that nobody is surprised anymore when a "reputable" company resorts to rootkits. MS has pushed for the right to hack into your computer if they suspect your Windows isn't Genuine. The only bright points in all this are that a) things like the Sony debacle keep grabbing attention to egregious anti-consumer practises, and b) all the research on "trusted computing" will at least have one worthy application -- as the singularity draws near, uploads and artificial intelligences will want to be able to protect themselves against being hacked, "uninstalled" (i.e. murdered), and so on, and being protected by TC like methods seems the best way to defend the rights of sentient software, once some exists.
