I think it's rather "cute" that one blog commentor notes that changing the name of your burner program to hide it - using the rootkit that SONY installs, makes the rootkit think your burner is part of the program and completely defeats the copy protection Sony intended.

So much for saying that others can't use it for malicious purposes.

Another blog poster notes that Sony's "fix" for their trash can also kill your machine - if the original root kit doesn't.
