Food for thought: Microsoft tried to take away our rights. Sony didn't.

I guess the DRM Rootkit scandal never happened, then?

 

That was Sony-Bertelsmann, and while it was outrageous (on a different level), they didn't try to implement a system that would take away our right to own property.


If you wish to reap the benefits of a conglomerate, you must also suffer the consequences associated with it. The decision came from the same executive board. 

Actually, they did. A CD is a license to play that music for personal use. Restricting the consumer's right to transfer that music to a portable player in order to protect from copies is EXACTLY what people are up in arms about with the used game thing on Xbox One.

I'll say it again: Microsoft may have been in the wrong, but at least they were open an honest about their DRM attempt, not hiding it under our noses and hoping nobody noticed..
