To be fair, removal is really easy, all you have to do is know about it and then you can click your way to the company uninstallers. It's not like in October when you had to go into safe mode to manually delete every single registry key and then fix your newly-broken CD drive. The only isue is letting the public know it's a problem, and as long as they circulate notices through the banner ads they so conveniently put into the propriitary music player I thhink they're doing all they could reasonably be asked to. (You're still free, incidentally, to sue Sony if your computer gets irrevocably compromised as a result of having the rootkit on the system.) (and GS, please stop calling it a trojan. It's not a trojan. Trojans deliberately open up ports for malicious users to connect to to take control of your computer; the rootkit accidentally makes it possible for other trojans to hide themselves, and sends some information back to Sony about what you're listening to. The former is a glaring oversight that should have never made it past beta testing, the latter is common practice of all sorts of websites ranging from ad sites to Microsoft.)
