Sony store still selling rootkit CDs

Snipped from a reader testimony on Consumerist:

I just got back from the Sony Style store in the Westchester mall, (White Plains, NY) and I saw that the had many CDs in the shelves that had the XCP rootkits. I asked the manager about this and they said they were, and I quote, “still allowed to sell them”.

Link (Thanks, Dan).
