People should learn to agree to disagree. If you think Sony is not guilty of aforementioned "digital crimes", it is your opinion. Personally their rootkit galore I had to suffer through, their fn battery leaking all over, AND screwing independant retailers is "digital baby eating" for people such as myself.
Larger companies tend to get away with larger crimes, and I simply think consumers should be able to demonstrate the basic level of respect they deserve, instead of being treated as a herd of sheep.
Have you seen recent attacks by Sony, namely kiksang articles?
How about price tags attached to PS3? In our age, technology should be MORE affordable, and not something of an elite product that try to create. Refer to Grey Goose vodka marketing stories.
How about their great rootkits? How about Sony BMGs RIA involvement? How about exploding batteries? Fixing markets around flash ram?
There are many more examples, and even if they may act different in Japan, do not forget the culture differences, etc. However, their European involvement, or even North America politics...Its dirty. Microsoft looks like a saint compared to Sony.

One more failure, amongst many. Sony as a company should simply wiff out of existance. They do not have a single worthy product, nor service.
Uhm, not that simple. the little thing is just first step I gather. Definitely more to it than meets the eye.
