MS has a monopoly on the OS market yet they will not risk irking their customers. <b>Ravi</b>, you are off on the tangent here. Piracy of course hurts their bottom line but as you mentioned, the way they chose to implement DRM (bad-ass law/technology according to me)that proved to be harmful to the consumer is what pissed me off. Their subsequent behavior at trying to justify and not apologize until blasted by media and blogs just added to the fire.

All sony is doing is trying to stop those 'some' from doing it. Why do you think that Sony distrusts 'all' its customers. I feel what Sony has done is alright as long as it can be done without spreading virus/spyware. And they should also find way to let people who purchased a song use it across media like an MP3 player. Do you think all the software companies(including gaming software companies like EIDOS) who lock their CDs from copying, distrust all their customers? Patrix,

If it doesn't work, they'll change it. doesn't mean they won't try everything to make more. Some of their tactics will work, others will backfire. doesn't mean they won't try. doesn't mean they always have to make sense. No point getting antsy. Peace :-) It’s the bottomline, Patrix.
