Part of me wonders if you're being genuine in this statement.

I'm adopting a boycott Sony mentality.  And I hope anyone who reads about this and does the same, given their past exploits (rootkit anyone?)

---fudgesicle--- Sony.  They've lost a customer for life, and I'm spreading the word.  Which is worth a lot more than some silly little lawsuit they could ever bring to the average man.

On a side note, I'll be doing the "unthinkable" to my PS2, so I can play the International Zodiac version of FFXII.  Someone's recently found a way to translate it into English without fully writing a new game.  That and I need one to replay FFX international as well.

Source schmource.

Sony's getting worked up over 20 hex bytes.  They seem to be the 'master key' to the system, if I understand correctly.

The way they're acting, you'd think it was the "master key" for their entire company.

I actually am. Sony being as heavy handed as they're being about this. It wouldn't surprise me in the least if they've got lackeys searching the web as we speak trying to find any mention of this in their zeal to kill any and all mention of this "problem" of theirs. I'm sure Sony is going to jiz in their pants when they're realize the focus of this site.

Good luck with that. Sony is ---smurfing--- huge. It's astonishing how many companies they have under their wing. They're like Disney, boycotting Disney is like boycotting electricity from PG&E or oil from (then)Exxon, it's impossible. The chances of you unknowingly doing business with a company that Sony has their fingers in is very high.

I dunno ... just the threats of boycotting led Disney to go back on their commitment to DIVX. I know that I wrote a letter to Disney during that fiasco and Disney listened (for a variety of reasons, but one was consumer backlash).
