Well, I'm certainly NOT buying ANY CDs from Sony/BMG or their related companies! LOL! ;-) Generally speaking, I can avoid Sony completely (although I'll have to have a quick look to see what all their sub-companies are to avoid them, as well). Don't need their phones, their televisions, their computer components. I don't want a Playstation at all. For most things, I can just buy a different brand. For other stuff (like music) I can just plain do without it. It won't be painful for me, but if enough people do it, it'll be painful for Sony. I don't really care about causing them pain, mind you. I just would rather not do business with a company that will put malicious rootkits on their CDs and now is demanding the right to invade people's privacy to protect their own bottom line. bonni
