deepseacatfish Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 Well when you buy flour in the store and then bake bread don't you have to pay the flour company for the bread you made from there flour too? I mean this is a perfectly logical model. Link to post Share on other sites

They can have it back! Link to post Share on other sites
Spawn's dad Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 of course since things tend to slide towards the middle it could be that the lawyers are arguing an extreme position with the hope that they get a judgment that is more tenable to their needs. Link to post Share on other sites

Kinda like when Scorsese filmed the "head in a vice" scene for Casino assuming it'd get cut, thereby saving the other shots of violence from standing out to the ratings board. But it didn't get cut.

Welsh Rich Posted October 4, 2007 Author Share Posted October 4, 2007 On a (semi) related note, when you get a promo CD that's watermarked, by breaking the seal on it you agree to a whole host of things. One of these is that no-one else can listen to it AT ALL. Therefore, when you're in your car and listen to it with the windows down or if someone comes round the house when you've got it on the stereo, you're breaking the agrement. Madness.

a.miller Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 This is just ridiculous. Greed, bad business; call it what you want. I really feel like they're hearing the death cry and reaching for anything they can to save their asses. Maybe Sony should consider spending their money on a revamped business plan, not litigation for outrageous, senseless bullshit. This is, afterall, the company who installed spyware on all of their users computers. It's gonna be funny when the Playstation 3 and Blu-Ray both fail. Link to post Share on other sites

Dreamin' Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 When I discovered that the Sloan CD I bought was copy protected, I vowed NEVER to buy another album on that sad, evil little label again. Sony BMG is truly the worst of the worst! Link to post Share on other sites
