10th anniversary of Sony BMG rootkit discovery

[Bob Brown <BBrown () NWW COM>]

I'm writing a story about the anniversary of this seminal moment in malware 
history<http://www.networkworld.com/article/2194292/network-security/sony-bmg-rootkit-scandal--5-years-later.html>. If 
anyone's interested in chiming in, feel free to discuss here or contact me directly.

One question I'd like to answer:

What would the consequences be today if a company tried to do what Sony BMG did? Are consumers better protected under 
the law than they were in 2005?
