Sony Proudly Rolls Out Spyware/Restrictions System [Slashdot]

I've spent over $7,000 on hardware this year alone, including a VAIO PC, CLIE PDA, LCD screens, and a stack of memory sticks. But guess what? Sony isn't getting another dime from me. No Video cameras (planned on $3k this year), still digital cameras ($1,500 minimum), music or movies (~$1k), nothing. Ever again. No PS2 for me, or games, either rented or purchased. I already have a GameCube, and now, I have less reason than ever to switch.

I am the unquenchable consumer, I want to be amused whenever and wherever I am, to get Seussian for a moment:

I want my movies on a plane
I want my movies on a train
I want to rock out on a bus
I want to game with Mr Gus

If you deny this thing to me
My cash and I will have to flee
And keep another's company
That lets my stuff travel with me

So Sony, it's been fun, but you get nothing from here on out. Good luck, so long, bye bye!
