p2pnet - rss feed: Malware tech for all ; )
p2p news / p2pnet: With Sony BMG’s rootkit DRMS (Digital Rights Restriction Spyware) in mind, Finnish software author Matti Nikki, aka Muzzy, believes artists also deserve access to the malware technologies that are “apparently becoming increasingly legal” under the country’s new laws.
Nikki discovered the Sony BMG DRMS ‘uninstall’ code is just as nasty as the pollution it’s supposed to fix and while solutions are being sought, he’s released the source code to his stopprot rootkit application to give all artists the equal access to malware technologies “that are apparently becoming increasingly legal”.
“Let’s see how lawmakers react when it becomes obvious that distributing malware sources and know-how will be OK if these kinds of DRM systems are tolerated,” he told p2pnet.
Get stopprot from Nikki’s site here, and just in case, we also have it here.
“It’d be unfair if only the big companies had access to the technology that has completely legal uses,” he says. “So, either the rootkit DRM is illegal, or distributing malware sources with full intent that people will use them to screw others is going to be OK too.”
On his discovery that the Sony BMG uninstall patch opens a large security hole, “The real irony is that I wrote my stopprot project BEFORE I heard of Sony’s rootkit,” Nikki, who’s both a software developer and ms-paint artist, tells us.
” I thought I was bending the interpretation and was truly shocked when just a few days after I got the final beta done, the news of Sony’s rootkit broke,” he says. “However, just a day before Sony’s rootkit hit the news, I got the ministry that prepared the law to claim that my DRM probably wouldn’t be protected by the law because it had malicious intent to it.
“It was kind of perfect timing, with Sony’s rootkit using more extreme means coming out just the day after :)”
Will A) repercussions from Sony BMG’s huge phk-up bounce way beyond Sony; and, B) could it be the proverbial last straw?
On A, Yup, and on B, definitely stay tuned ; )
