Copyfight has been discussing Sony's abuse of DRM in their new copyright protection scheme. Well, now the security vulnerabilities in Sony's DRM software are being used to attack the user's computer: Trojan horse exploits Sony DRM copy protection vulnerability.

Given the general negative attitudes toward DRM and the DMCA among many in the IT community, I would suspect that this may indicate a new trend, where hackers will spend less time creating viruses to harass Windows and turn their attention to DRM. It'll be interesting to see whether or not prosecution under the DMCA will act as a deterrent.
