It amazes me how little this seems to be grasped. Or even if people don't want to cut off Sony entirely, they could still think, "Ah, this is from Sony. That's a black mark. Do the positives really outweigh this negative?" But apparently few people do think this way. Therefore, to those who wonder why Sony doesn't quit all this nonsense with rootkits and DRM and privacy violations, etc., etc., the answer is, because it doesn't hurt them. People still do business with them anyway. (Kinda makes you wonder about all the "you must treat your customers well" articles you see on here.)
