Why?

Your argument is lost on the RIAA as they are senseless.

Let's see the study on brain shrinkage in Chinese factory workers...

Let's just institute an IQ minimum for driver's licensing instead.

What's next on their ethics free menu? Soylent Green made from all the unwanted Chinese female babies?

Doooomed!

These Syrian security forces are really out of control, executing people in the street, shooting innocent bystanders and roughing up cameramen...oh wait...

I wouldn't be surprised if it were so full of lead paint as to render the crew inoperative.

This is precisely why the preferred nomenclature was changed from "non-lethal" to "less-lethal". p

"And that's the end of that chapter."

Does it also feature payment processing for my services?

Sony's ineptitude, irresponsibility and cavalier disregard for their customer's well being is indisputable, yet the fanbois still a. blame those who expose the flaws and b. bend over for even more Sony branded sodomy. Classic.

Make that two:

LAPD and orgs like it would love to see a true Orwellian future come to pass.

Only a simple minded idiot would make baseless assumptions. I don't own any consoles in fact, since I sold my only console which was a PS3. You see, I don't trust Sony because they F'd their entire customer base in the butt. If you like being F'd in the butt, by all means carry on with them. We will simply call it…

"I have four words for ya: Patenttrolls Patenttrolls Patentrolls Patentrolls"

The consequences of what exactly? Selling legal products on the free market or the misfortune of running afoul of Steve Jobs' Nazi Jackboot? Please specify.

Consumers suffer the collateral damage when Sony "leaves their wallet in the street" and then throws a fit when it gets stolen. Caveat emptor from here on out.

Hah, way to generalize and oversimplify. "Hackers" - like it's one big team with a unified goal. Classic.

Yet another ironic reason to pirate thanks to the MPAA and studios' Luddite, head-in-sand attitude.
