Reasonable on 29 March 2010
No matter what a company says they will react to anything like the recent hacking activity around that feature. You can see it as lies but its simply responding to the market. Every major company will have done something like this relevant to their market.
Sony are no Angel's with their rootkit snafus and the like, so I'm not defending them blindly, but in this case it's a legitimate response and has clearly been forced from the outside rather by their own choice.
Put simply, if no-one was trying to hack using that avenue, they wouldn't be removing it.
So if you're annoyed, email the hackers and ask them to lay off - which they won't, sadly. So the feature is going to go.
Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...
