Well, I've not actually tried to find out what Sony BMG and
First4Internet have been doing with their ability to covertly control 
(and spy on) half a million Windows boxen during the past year-plus,
because that's actually the _least_ interesting aspect to me, but:

1.  I'm not at all certain the host ever responded on port 80.
2.  If it did, it'd be a bit reckless of them to provide anything 
    positioned right at the document root.
3.  And I'd be really surprised if that host were _still_ doing 
    much of substance, after all this publicity.
