OT, but needs atention!!!

[Rob]

WEll, lets put it this way..

Sony took my company to court (RCA) to FORCE us to GIVE THEM the codes for
sattelite TV, AND the court MADE us not ONLY give the codes, BUT ALSO HELP
THEM DEVELOP THEIR RECEIVER!!!!!
They tried to say we had a monopoly! How the hell do you have a monopoly?
Sony should have been made to set up their OWN goddamn system!

WTF?!!?

Sony are a bunch of underhanded sleazeballs. This isnt the only technology
that they have stolen or litigated ppl out of in the courts.

I cant say enough bad things about those weasels.. If you work for them, are
affiliated with them, love them, etc, then I say "good luck to you, sucker",
cuz they WILL screw u.. Its only a matter of time.
