Is this Copyright Propaganda

Could this story and FaceTime be stooges created and contracted out by the copyright industry? Taking the word RootKit, mixing in P2P and the Middle East could be a great story used to deter some attention away from Sony's blunder. I smell a RAT!

This is neither a rat nor propaganda and this story is far from Sony and their sinister actions. Don't lose sight on a market giant spying on it's customers when they can't grasp the forsight that Apple had with iTunes. If you are smelling a rat check your cubicle because that is the only rat here.
Poor writing: BitTorrent?
