I knew this, and I already boycott them, for a few years. It all started when I tried to put a Sony audio CD in my computer. It installed shit without my approval, and I've had a hard time to delete it. Some time later I did the same thing with another Sony CD, same shit. And some time again later, identical. Now, no way a Sony CD, CDROM or DVD gets into my drive. And by extension, no official and legitimate CD either. Finished. For ever.

I agree, they clearly went way too far here. Boycut them.

If this is true, then they are illegal at all to release this whole thing.

GNU Licenses strike again. Haha.

Well if that's true that's the lamest thing I've ever seen yet from the defenders of property !
