Sony are every bit as responsible for the ridiculous concept of a "trusted path" as those who implement it in their own equipment. You're forgetting that Sony delayed the PS3 by a year in order to finish off the DRM in Blu-Ray. You are also forgetting the Sony Rootkit fiasco. Oh, and MagicGate before that...
