I haven't purchased a single Sony product since they starting suing grandmas years ago and don't plan to ever purchase one again. They don't care about you or anyone else - there is no decency in their behavior. They care only for the money.. YOUR money. So stop giving it to them.

God... what's happened to this country? It used to be a good place to live. Pretty easy to see what the outcome of this case will be: In Amerika, money buys you all the “justice” you can afford.

It won't be long for "doublespeak" to be implemented mandating methods for listening to music and watching movies. Who would have ever thought that copying your cd's to play in your truck would become illegal. This is a true perversion of the law, fair use, and above all...a clear indication of how greed can corrupt. ..and with the new laws being formed in the halls in Washington, new govt agencies are being formed at the behest of the RIAA and MPAA.
