I have to wonder what small claims court judges would think of it. Get a few hundred cases filed across the US and the travel expense for Sony could be significant.
- tiahura 4mo agoWhy would Sony bother to show up? 1000 cases x $19.99/movie = $20,000.
- paxys 4mo agoPeople also forget that the burden of collection is on you. Good luck chasing Sony for that $20 even if the court has ruled in your favor.
- triceratops 4mo agoYou're saying I can't just turn up to the nearest Sony store with a sheriff's deputy and take some shit?
- nikanj 4mo agoDoes Sony have stores?
- triceratops 4mo agoHmm I guess not. Nearest corporate office then.
- tantalor 4mo agoSony doesn't operate their own brick & mortar stores
- triceratops 4mo agoI thought they did for some reason.
- staticman2 4mo agoThere were Sony stores a long time ago. https://www.reddit.com/r/nostalgia/comments/ctx3wx/sony_style_stores/ https://www.reddit.com/r/nostalgia/comments/ctx3wx/sony_styl...
- tiahura 4mo agoYou can. It's called a levy or a writ of attachment depending on the jurisdiction. you can also do a till levy where you send the sheriff to go clean out their cash register. However, 1) when attaching property, you generally need to do a sheriff's auction. 2) You better damn well be sure the property belongs to the correct corporate entity, eg SCEA, inc. and not Sony, inc., Sony of America,Inc., etc. - otherwise you've just committed a wrongful garnishment and now Sony can sue you for punitives.
