    Would be cool to see Sony and Amazon sue the hell out of each other. A bit like two rapists/murderers buttfucking and then disemboweling each other. Unfortunately such huge corporations always reach some sort of agreement in these cases - smart thieves don't steal from each other. A shame, because watching them fighting it out, maybe sending their security teams to do battle in their rival's offices, while we laugh on the faces of grieving widows and throw dog feces at weeping orphans would be AWESOME.
