    Yeah remember the time that Sony (a large and well-respected company) intentionally included a rootkit on some 22 million audio CDs?

      You mean the one they eventually provided an uninstaller for? Only for it to hide the rootkit and install a backdoor. While violating multiple open-source licenses. And then receiving a slap-on-the-wrist fine for the whole thing?

      It was comical. I still can’t believe they got away with it.
