I’m still getting justified in my boycott of anything Sony that started in 2005, when they bricked my PC for daring to put a Sony CD in my computer’s CD player! Fucking rootkit.

Yes I’m still holding that grudge and I will not relent, for as long as I live.

Any movie I watch I make sure it’s not a Sony product, any music I listen to, I make doubly sure it’s not from a Sony studio. Any electronics I buy, I make triply sure it doesn’t contain any Sony product. Sony is not getting a dime from me ever again!

Fuck Sony!

I legitimately cannot remember the last time I paid for a movie or TV show, or music.

Digitally, or physically.

Even if you count streaming services, its been over 5 years since I laid for Spotify... stopped paying for any kind of on demand videos before even that.

Friends wanna watch a movie at my place? Oh, I have a 10 TB library.

Oh, at your place? Does your TV have a USB port? Tell me its model number and I can figure out what codecs it can actually read.

This isn't a EULA in that it still allows you to use the product even if you decline...

This option is available with most modern games these days. They often ask you to click "approve" twice, knowing you won't read either and knowing that you believe that you need to accept both to proceed. When in reality, the second one is almost always optional (perhaps even by law because of laws in the EU).

Still gross. And definitely a major dark pattern, but if people just took an extra 3 seconds to double check, they'd stop sending all of their data to these companies.

Are there any region-free 4K blu-ray drives available? I’m asking for a friend.

"It also enables the delivery of advertising content"

They already paid for the product! Double-dipping assholes

Yeah I just straight up pirate movies now, I don't even try to hide it from people anynore. It's clear to me at this point that all these companies care about is getting richer by the minute off the backs of the common man, and their excuses for doing so are getting more and more pathetic.

Piracy is now better and safer than using "real" discs. Well done, Sony.

Why is your Blu-ray player connected to the internet?

Welp, blu ray playyæer sure don't need no internet - gimme dumb technology plz

Haha no it doesn’t.

unplugs NIC

rips blu-ray with blu-ray drive running old firmware

can we find a way to spoof this so that they think legit physical disk usage is going up?
