Even after your post above, it still appears your view is that Russinovich broke the law. This is apparently at odds with how the court decided. If the court had decided that Russinovich had broken the law, I suspect that they would not have decided against Sony in this case. So you give the appearance of rather extreme hypocrisy here. Namely, you're attempting to discredit Russinovich, while claiming to be against Sony. I don't buy it. Not for a second. In my view, anybody attempting to discredit Russinovich is not on the side of the consumer - to put it mildly.I did in fact read your post, for all its verbosity. But reading someone's post is less difficult than reading their mind. In the post above, you expound on your supposed philosophy of how you think things should be. But there is absolutely nothing in your original post that suggests this to be your actual view. If you were to renounce this absurd view that "It's illegal to search for rootkits" when faced with maiicious software having been put on one's computer, then I might begin to take you seriously. And if your view is that this is what the DMCA says, then this suggests that the court that ruled against Sony misinterpreted the DMCA. I don't buy that either.
