You buy a Sony CD and decide to play it on your computer.

Your computer now has a rootkit installed.

And these days people just install the rootkit, only it's allegedly to prevent game cheating.

And, when called out, everyone tells you you're a paranoid, tinfoil hat wearing, organ trafficking criminal

I STILL don't buy Sony shit because of that. They booby trapped their product and idiots still buy it. There are plenty of competitors who don't do that.
