		<description>Want to see how the value of Sony has dropped from $135 (peak was $150) to less than $38 now, in 6 years. A drop to 28% (or to 21% from peak to low of $31) of former value. 

Click here:

Enter SNE (Sony stock name).

Investors are running away, They have seen the light.

Yeah! Sony is so damn desperate to the point of installing spyware on customer computers and blackmailing anyone in p2p sight. They deserve the shit they are getting.</description>

		<description>I am certainly delighted to find that this Sony "mistake" is not being swept under the rug and that Jon will keep on reporting about Sony's debacle.

I didn't start out to become interested in P2P, I just wanted to surf the net.  I've stated before and I'll say it again - I've had quite an education this past year.  I'm only one small voice, but there are a multitude of others out there.  It's depressing to think that just maybe Sony will come out of this smelling like a rose, but then there are things like the lawsuit in Texas and  the slap by Homeland Security that just might get their attention.  If not, I can only say I will not buy Sony products nor be in their music club, and I try to keep an eye locally on what is being said about this ( http://p2pnet.net/story/7228  and http://p2pnet.net/story/7025 ) and just maybe if enough people would do the same, Sony might get the message.  

The ticket is not only to let them know that we know, but also to hit them where it hurts - the wallet which rests somewhat close to their b____s.</description>

		<description>Just in case you did notknow, my family has sued Sony for making at least 16 records that have sold at least five million records all without any legal license.

When I personally detected this I tried to negotiate royalty payments with Sony. After lying to me several times, what Sony did is to go to a music publisher that had previously and illegally claimed to own the songs used by Sony. The bogus publisher then issued bogus licenses to Sony (for illegal recordings many years in production), who evidently preferred to  deal with a bogus publisher than with me, who represented my family, the rightful owners of the songs.

Now, if all records 16+ records made by Sony that has our songs are all unlicensed and unlawful, that surely points to one fact: It is a common practice of Sony to make and sell records with unlawful content. Sony may be the biggest pirate of all !!!

I am sure that at the end Sony will claim that the use of unlicensed songs was due to employee error and that management did not support infringement. A bogus argument, because after our lawsuit Sony has continued the production of the records, perhaps to show their arrogance and power (in the court system?).  

While Sony has not stopped producing the records, what they have been able to do is miraculously stopped is the judicial process.  The lawsuit was filed five years ago and the judge is sitting on the case. 

Sony (or someone) has also stopped the press, who has never mentioned the case, here or elsewhere, to my knowledge.

Details can be found here:
Venegas v. Sony Copyright Infringement Lawsuit
http://rafa_venegas.web.prdigital.com/venegas_v_sony_lawsuit.htm

Can anyone figure this out? I can, but If I say what is going on I will be shortly visited by the FBI.

		<description>Ha  Hahaha  Hahaha  What a farce.  re-evaluating my ass.  All they are doing is trying to figure out how not to get caught the next time that they pull this shit, and beleive me, they will try again.

"Most people don’t even know what a rootkit is, so why should they care about it?"  Well Hesse, everybody certainly knows what a rootkit is now after this fiasco that your company created.  In other words, you just shot your own self in the foot, and you only have your own self to blame.

Remember folks, this is the same company that was caught in a payola scandel reminicent of 1920's era gangsters.  What they were doing was "donating" money and equipment to radio stations, and in return those stations would play more of sony's catalog.

They were also involved in a CD price fixing sceme with other record companies and were caught and forced to pay a fine.

There's so much dirt that these companies have, the skeletons in their closets have been buried.

		<description>If they call this a "slight" problem, then I would hate to see what they would consider a "major" problem.</description>

		<description>I think we should all stand outside of cd stores handing out pamplets informing people about sony's DRM cd's. Would be interesting to see the fallout from that.</description>

		<description>Meanwhile, these "recalled" cds are still abundantly available for purchase at my local Wal-mart and Hastings stores. If I knew that I wouldn't get into trouble, I'd put a "Contains Spyware" sticker on all the cases.</description>
