This one implements DRM as a NN rather then a rootkit.

Which half? One half is bad for the future and the other is worse now.

I'm not sure what you mean, but I was referencing Sony's illegal and unethical usage of a rootkit on every CD they manufactured to hack user's computers so that they could implement DRM (in)effectively[1].

I didn't know this happened but I thought you were implying the NN was a rootkit. Well I guess I misinterpreted.
