Forums - Sony Discussion - Petition to boycott Sony reaches over 200,000 signatures

Following on from last Friday's court ruling in Sony's favour over singer Ke$ha*, a petition has sprung up calling for a boycott of their products, and has already amassed nearly a quarter of a million signatures:

Other celebrities have also thrown their support behind the singer, including Lady Gaga, Taylor Swift, Demi Lovato, and Lorde. Swift has even donated $250,000 to help Ke$ha's cause:

I hope Sony ignores this petition like it deserves to be.



This is the Game of Thrones

Where you either win

or you DIE

It's not even Sony's fault Stuff like this is why we need another plague. Or have warning labels taken off for a month so natural selection can do its job



So, we should boycott Sony cause a JUDGE ruled in their favor?

Thats brilliant.  I mean WoW.



I signed it.

Edit: Just threw my PS4, PS3, Vita (lol), out the window. I will no longer be buying Sony products as well.

A lynch mob is forming? Didn't she admit/testify that she lied?



Well, nobody knows what's up with Kesha, whether she's telling the truth or whether she just wants to get out of a contract. Somehow, though, because reasons, people are automatically not just backing her, but actively attempting to harm another company. And there's no proof of any rape, so this whole situation is just dumb dumb dumb. =P



bet: lost

A petition... To boycott.

They need 200,000 signatures...

...to complete a petition...

...to act on a boycott.

She testified under oath that she was not sexually harassed or raped.

 

Something smells fishy



Man, it'll really suck for that 190,000 if the petition never quite reaches its goal and they aren't ALLOWED to boycott.

I wonder how the Civil Rights movement got any protesting done without Change.org to handle all that "petition to protest" paperwork!
