mrsparky, I don't buy that line of reasoning. You might not be able to avoid Sony components, but this is the piecemeal stuff. Avoid their monitors, computers, computer equipment, televisions, AV equipment, game consoles, CDs, and all the real money-makers and they will feel it! I don't think that doing the actual practice which has caused their paranoid practices is a good reproach. It will only incur more Draconianism on their part. During the Boston Tea Party, the colonists didn't steal the tea and drink it. They dumped the goods into the harbor to protest the Tea Tax - better no tea at all than to succumb to the taxation.

C makes it easy to shoot yourself in the foot. C++ makes it harder, but when you do, you blow your whole leg off.
