Is Sony No Better Than Pirates It Goes After?

[citation][nom]blackened144[/nom]If Sony can get an $81,000 per track fine against a normal person, I dont think an $8.1m per track against Sony is out of line.[/citation]
They can penalize us for more than we'll EVER make in a lifetime...so why can't we fine them say...a couple trillion? Sounds about right on a percentage basis.

Sony, Intel, M$, various banks and other large institutions are busy making us grab our ankles because of the rule. Don't forget the Golden Rule. There is nothing you or I can do about it. Sorry for the downer.

Since the scandal with the Rootkit/DRM uncovered by Russinovich I stopped buying ANYTHING from Sony. For me, they don't exist as a company....

sony owns columbia pictures which sent out a round of letters to ISP's who sent them to people who dl'ed a cam copy of District 9. Not to the person who created it and posted it. But to people who are
accessing free information. Sony blows.
