Sony BMG Sued For Using Pirated Software

Posted by kdawson on Sunday March 30, 2008 @07:51AM from the turnabout-is-sweet dept.

An anonymous reader sends us to ZeroPaid, which seems to be the only site in English to have picked up a story out of France involving Sony and piracy. Except this time the shoe is on the other foot. The small software company PointDev learned that Sony BMG was using a pirated license for one of its system administration tools. PointDev got bailiffs to raid a Sony property and they found pirated software on four servers. The source article (link is to a Google translation of French original) quotes PointDev's spokesman claiming that the BSA believes 47% of software used in corporations to be illegal — whether he is referring to Sony in particular is not clear in the translation.

But only if you believe that Sony BMG was intelligently designed.

But remember, man is made in God's image so next we can expect an asteroid to hit the earth and kill everyone. That would pretty much fit the sadistic petty jealousy model man seems to have been made with.
