CDT Praises Landmark FTC-Sony BMG Settlement - In comments filed today with the Federal Trade Commission, CDT praised the FTC's landmark settlement with Sony BMG Music Entertainment over the company's surreptitious installation of "rootkit" technology on its customers' computers. Announced earlier this month, the settlement reaffirms the fundamental right of computer users to make informed decisions about what software they install. In addition to highlighting some of the proposed settlement's most important features, CDT also offered recommendations for refinements that would give it even more teeth, including obtaining a commitment to carefully review new software for security vulnerabilities.
