That's a lot of people's response. Sony Pictures does bad things, so while I have to say "this kinda thing shouldn't be done", at least it happened to a deserving company.

Remember, Sony Pictures is a different entity than Sony Music Entertainment.

Sorry, not a valid point. Both entities use the name "Sony" for a reason: the goodwill associated with it. They have to accept the bad press along with the good.

Pushing for harder copyright laws and being with the MPAA is bad enough.

Can you give specifics? What bad things are you referring to?

Installing rootkits on the machines of unsuspecting victims who foolishly purchased music CDs from them, for a start. Turnabout is fair play.

I had to look it up.. Holy shit 0_o
