How sad it is when a company is called greedy for protecting their property. To all who think it's silly or an over-reaction to do so with a firm hand, I say, try creating something which others then steal from you. Not "go out and buy", but actually create something. Write a song. Make a film. And have the fruits of your inspiration & labor appropriated by a few thousand people, or in Sony's case, a few million without seeing a penny... Then see how you feel about rights protection. There is nothing noble about stealing, and people seem to have difficulty understanding that pirating, or "game-sharing" isn't Robin Hooding - You're not sticking it to The Man, you're sticking it to other gamers. Folks who practice game-sharing were stealing, and Sony took out the loophole. Just like they removed Linux, and USB ports, etc etc etc. If you're upset about the loss of these loopholes, then odds are you were stealing too, and you're just angry cuz the cookie jar is empty and you can't shove your fat hand in for another helping.
Too bad, so sad, get ****.
If you haven't built your own business, if you've never actually created anything of value, marketed it, sold it, and maintained a support for it, then you have nothing to say about Sony.
Period.
