What punishment did Sony ever recieve for their rootkit scandal?

So what ever happened to Sony for installing a rootkit on its customers computers via certain audio CD's? Audio CD's that install malicioius rootkit technology without your knowledge or consent. You won't even see it happen. The rootkit then takes over your computer and hides itself, in the same way that viruses, spyware, and trojan horses often do. Opening up security holes all over your system. Wikipedia: So then Sony BMG released a rootkit uninstaller, the Sony BMG removal program merely unmasked the hidden files installed by the rootkit, but did not actually remove the rootkit. In addition, this program was reported to install additional software that cannot be uninstalled. In order to download the uninstaller, it is necessary to provide an e-mail address (which the Sony BMG Privacy Policy implies to be added to various bulk e-mail lists), and to install an ActiveX control containing backdoor methods (marked as "safe for scripting", and thus prone to exploits).

On May 22, 2006, a settlement was proposed, and approved by a judge. Sony's punishment? Replace the infected CD's with either normal ones or via mp3 downloads, and to pay up to $7.50 to each person filing a claim. Sony makes billions per year, so $7.50 for you my friend is a load of crap!
