Remember how pissed off everyone was when Sony added software to people's computers?
Do you mean that time they installed a rootkit on people's PCs when they went to play (what was supposed to be) a music CD, or the time they retroactively and remotely sabotaged Linux on people's Playstations?
Just wondering which massive felony that should've landed the entire C-suite in prison you're referring to, since there was more than one.
Hey come on now, there's no need to lie. We all know that when the C-suite does it it's not a crime in America. It's illegal to hold them accountable!
/wrist :(
The sad thing is that Sony is multinational, and they weren't prosecuted in Japan or anywhere else, either.
