From Boing Boing: Sony anti-customer technology roundup and time-line
Since Hallowe’en, we’ve been posting the details about he revelations relating to Sony’s DRM systems, which show jaw-dropping contempt for their customers, for copyright law, for fair trading and for the public interest. With all these posts strung out over a couple weeks, I thought it was high time we put together an omnibus post, summing up all the posts to date…

People are always going to steal shit wholesale, There is no way around that. But generally, if you give people reasonable options they will take them. Sony needs to get into micropayments and rental agreements, and kiss the feet of anyone who buys the physical product.

If they didn’t make such glorious TVs (like the one I just bought… … they would be irrelevant.

I love that the EFF is taking them on now. It may be legally moot, but its a neat principle.
