Sony as the hypocrisy paradigm
April 13th 2008
Remember Sony as the paladin of anti-piracy? Sony is the company behind Blu-ray, a format aiming at substituting DVD, devised only as a mean to avoid “piracy” (implementing HDMI connections with HDCP DRM systems), and offering nothing more than 4 or 5 times better resolution (such a low price for our freedom!)
Sony is, as well, the company behind the XCP fiasco I wrote about a couple of years ago, in which they introduced malicious software (a rootkit) in their music CDs, to control what consumers copied or listened to.
Well, this saints among the saints have been apparently caught using… what?… using pirated software!!!
Read abut it in Slashdot (where I found the new), and in ZeroPaid (original new).
