I'm sorry. I'm not the 'mobmind mentality' here. If Sony can't control their subsidiaries, then why be incorporated? If the Sony Corporation has no say in what the subs do, then why even call them "Sony BMG", "Sony Electronics", and so on. The President of the United States may not be the root cause of a scandal related to his staff, but his position makes him responsible (period). Sony is at the helm - they are responsible. If such 'minor' things like rootkits are of no concern to Sony, then they should change their business model.

C makes it easy to shoot yourself in the foot. C++ makes it harder, but when you do, you blow your whole leg off.
