Sony as the hypocrisy paradigm
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]] [[Digital rights management|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).
