It is perfectly legal for the entertainment industry to deploy rootkits. What you decide to put on your computer is up to you. If someone wants to put something in the software, the agreement is between you and them. So long as they disclose what they are doing, it's not like anyone reads the those agreement contracts on the internet. A company that deploys rootkits, then survives class actions and angry consumers? Not likely.
