Sony DRM - Conspiracy?

Just when you think this story is played out it get's even weirder.  Security guru Bruce Schneier points out in his blog that the major anti-virus vendors (Symantec, McAfee, Microsoft) dragged their feet adding the Sony rootkit to their detection and removal schemes.  Only Finnish company F-Secure took an aggressive stance.  Could there be a conspiracy here?

But wait.  It gets even weirder.  Now it turns out that Sony, far from respecting copyrights has illegally incorporated others copyright material in the software they distribute.
