Sony is acting like a company trying to maximize profits, it's our government that's tasked with defending 'the people'. If the government is the enabler, why not protest them?
- sho_hn 16y agoYour government isn't just tasked with defending the people, but also with acting on their behalf; given this, the persons that form the corporate entity Sony are not absolved of personal responsibility and subject to criticism. The government may be allowing them to do this, but it isn't making them do it.

- sudonim 16y agoWhy not show Sony that this strategy will not maximize profits? That's a more certain path than expecting the government to do the right thing. Voting with your dollars is the most powerful way that you as an individual can express your opinion in a corporatocracy.
