Those lawsuit links refer to the class-action suit related to the 
rootkit + DRM install itself.

I'm more interested in it's use to cloak a virus, and the potential 
legal liability that might create for the authors.

15 seconds on Google can provide a variety of rootkits .. I suspect this 
is one of the first developed by a big-name company (versus the 
customization you can get from some hacker groups for a little donation).
