Such an uproar has been made they're (Sony) scrambling to undo this somehow. You can't blame a company for trying to prevent their goods from being swiped, this just wasn't the right way. I'm sure they'll catch more than a small ration of sh1t for it and might see some fines too. In the meantime, you should be watching your own machines for stuff like this anyway, as well as any other malware or spy apps. Here's a rootkit sniffer, it will look at your machine and find any others installed. While you're there back out of this link, via the links near the top of the page, and look through the other security/privacy tools you might also need.
