Good blog aggregating all the news on Sony's rootkit:

And, courtesy of slashdot, this marvellous Amazon page:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/customer-reviews/B00092ZM02/ref=cm_cr_dp_2_1/104-9149992-0271161?_encoding=UTF8&s=music
It's a long URL, but worth it, for gems like:
32 of 33 people found the following review helpful:
"Sony put illegal malicious software on this CD for copy-protection 
purposes. Sony is very likely to be on the receiving end of a huge 
class-action lawsuit because of their incompetent decision to 
intentionally infect their customers' computers with spyware which is 
nearly impossible to remove, and will make your computer vulnerable to 
hackers. Sorry, Van Zant, but you should sue Sony/BMG for all of the 
lost sales you will have because of this stupid decision by Sony."
