It probably isn't being widely reported because most newspapers have no clue what it's about, and don't want to look stupid by getting it wrong. If THEY understand what Sony has done wrong in the first place...
As a general rule, most journos are not really high tech experts.
Well, the basic case is not hard to understand, IMO; summarized: you play a CD from Sony on your computer, it installs things on your computer whithout your consent, things that damage your computer, and sends information about you to the company, again without your consent, and there is no proper way to remove it comletely (even more summarized: it installs hidden spywares you can't get rid of properly). Of course, how it does it and what are the exact laws is further than the average's reach but, again IMO, not essential to understand the issue...
