And YET ANOTHER Sony rootkit has been found, installed when you play a CD from a different list:

New Sony CD "Rootkit" Found; Patch Issued, By Mark Hachman, ExtremeDRM, December 7, 2005.

Those who want details should download the .pdf linked at the above site.

The list of CDs affected by this new crudware (according to Sony, whom we of course trust implicitly) is at CDs Containing SunnComm MediaMax Version 5 Content Protection Software. The list includes about 2 dozen titles released in the US, and a separate similar size list for Canadian releases.
