<title>Revisiting the Sony Rootkit fiasco 10 years later</title>
|
|
|
|
<body>
|
|
|
|
<p>Today the Free Software Foundation Europe looks back on the Sony
|
|
rootkit fiasco from 2005. This page outlines some facts about the
|
|
rootkit and how it was handled, as well as some context about what
|
|
these kinds of restrictions mean for the notion of computers as
|
|
general purpose machines. 31 October 2015 marks the 10 year
|
|
anniversary of when the rootkit was discovered, and in preparation
|
|
for this day, we ask you all to use this information and spread the
|
|
word, not only about the Sony rootkit, but about the dangers of
|
|
digital restrictions on users' freedoms everywhere.</p>
