The rootkit that is mentioned is from F4I that Sony was using on CDs and was named XCP.

The settlement covers two content-protection technologies, XCP and MediaMax, which Sony BMG included on some music CD titles. The final settlement, approved by federal judge Naomi Reice Buchwald, largely follows terms tentatively agreed to in January, 2006. Under the terms of the settlement there was never any need to recall CDs containing MediaMax software. Also, Sony BMG was not required to make any cash payments to consumers on behalf of SunnComm.
