It's a business transaction where contracts are the norm. Sony may not be very flexible on terms, but no one is forced to buy their projectors and agree to the terms.

We would if consumers had no other choice but to buy Sony projectors only - that doesn't seem to be the case, though.
- MobiusHorizons 3y ago> but no one is forced to buy their projectors and agree to the terms I don’t know how much choice movie theaters have. As I understand it, these projectors read directly from a hard drive, and are heavily regulated to avoid piracy. According to the Wikipedia article [1] there are only 4 approved manufacturers, and until very recently Sony had the only 4k model.
