Let us just say that whoever wrote the code for the rootkit copied freely from the LAME encoder.
One area that has been underplayed is that the rootkit installed itself even if all you ever did was to play the Sony CD on your computer.
As for stealing CPU and hard disk cycles, a friend's computer never went below 30% loading and all game playing she did became a very bad joke.
If you are concerned (as there have been several more rootkits floating around since the first Sony one) AVS has a free rootkit detection and removal tool that does work and leaves you protected afterward.
