My weekly Law Bytes column (Toronto Star version, homepage version) picks up on last week's post examining the mounting concerns over the Sony rootkit class action settlement in Canada.  The column touches on many of the same themes – less compensation, no security review, and no injunctive relief.  I conclude by arguing that "the Sony rootkit case has been marked by a series of corporate missteps that have consistently failed to gauge the damage to Sony's reputation.  This latest twist – shrouded for weeks in secrecy – only serves to cause further harm to Sony and to cast doubt about its sincerity in addressing a major mistake that has affected thousands of Canadian consumers."
