Your Rights Online <http://yro.slashdot.org/> : DVD Jon's Code In Sony Rootkit? Posted by Zonk <http://slashdot.org/~Zonk/> on Thursday November 17, @08:49AM from the when-will-it-end dept. <http://slashdot.org/search.pl?tid=188> Media An anonymous reader writes "With some help from Sabre Security, Sebastian <http://www.the-interweb.com/serendipity/index.php?/archives/20051117.html> Porst and Matti Nikki <http://hack.fi/~muzzy/sony-drm/> have identified some stolen GPL'd code in Sony's rootkit. Ironically the code in question seems to be VLC's demux/mp4/drms.c -- the de-DRMS code which circumvents Apple's DRM, written by 'DVD' Jon Lech Johansen <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jon_Johansen> and Sam Hocevar."
