In response to a comment on the likelyhood of there being lawsuits, I e-mailed the EFF to ask if they were looking into doing something like that. Here's the response:
Thanks for contacting us about Sony's Rootkit. Many people have written to us about the program--so please be assured that we are monitoring the issue. Please see the recent DeepLink on our site about the matter and watch our site for updates. I do know that one group in Italy is bringing a suit in this matter and that other US firms are very interesting in pursuing it as well.
So we'll see what happens.
