I wanted to suggest adding www.freepatentsonline.com to the page. This web site has free PDF downloading (instead of having to page through TIFFs like at the US PTO). It is by far the best free patent searching site. I saw that you have a page that discusses patent-related resources at http://www.colino.net/wordpres.....-property/.

That's about half a million cases of willfully damaging private property (and while other people can make an IP case against this, Sony can't :) ). Not to mention sales losses that Microsoft could feel because of this.

And 2nd, did Sony link to some LAME library? Then they don't need to provide the source code of their root kit, but just the source code of the used library, do they? Anyway, I think Sony gets more and more "evil". ;-) Luckily I don't have a problem with CDs of them (yet), as they don't do such crap for Linux, but I already had to experience how they "support" MP3 on their flash players (by crippling them, so you can't easily copy the MP3s any longer)!
