rootkit comes to the mac

I don't know how many of you have heard about the flack sony is getting over it's Audio CD's that install spyware on pc's ... called a "rootkit" becuase it takes "root" control of a computer and paves the way for other evil doers to do the same... Suffice to say they're being sued by the states of California and New York and a few countries in the EU. Well, according to this story below, the bad stuff they put on PC's is coming to your mac. Beware any audio CD from Sony/BMG music. Buy the album from iTunes and burn a cd, do not go get one at target or walmart:

An audio CD should never ask you for your name and PW on a mac... Just say "no" to Sony/BMG records....
