More ''Passive'' than ''Active''

by computerlegalexperts.com Nov 25, 2005 6:49AM PST

In observing the reactions from Symantec and McAfee, with Sony's Web Rootkit, I believe that they will let things slip through, rather than face the wrath or litigation from ''Special Interest Groups'' as in the case of the RIAA or MPAA.

Although the ''Digital Rights'' may belong to the copyright holder, the computer I have belongs to me.

The companies like Symantec and McAfee better get off the dime or they will lose business to a new start-up. Sitting on one's laurels does not sit well with the end-user computer community.

Just my thoughts,
