The reason they don't give a damn about their image and persecute Internet users is that they know if people want music and movies enough they'll even buy them if they can't download. But is that really true after all they've done, and when they arrogantly increase prices even further? Real piracy would get an even firmer grip if that were to happen, that people were forced offline, and especially when faced with a choice of a $40-$50 DVD or 60c pirated. CDs would go the same way I feel, and already commercial buyers are departing in droves understandably.

Fact is, after dismal customer service, I long ago gave up on Sony hardware. Today you could not give me anything with the name on it of Sony. Sony has shown their mentality over and over to me. I got the message. Now Sony can get mine. Not another dollar spent on a company so poorly concerned with their products. After the rootkit, why would I want another Sony spy in my home.
