<http://www.the-interweb.com/serendipity/index.php?/archives/20051117.html>
Porst and Matti Nikki <http://hack.fi/~muzzy/sony-drm/>  have identified
some stolen GPL'd code in Sony's rootkit. Ironically the code in question
seems to be VLC's demux/mp4/drms.c -- the de-DRMS code which circumvents
Apple's DRM, written by 'DVD' Jon Lech Johansen
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jon_Johansen>  and Sam Hocevar."
