I’m still getting justified in my boycott of anything Sony that started in 2005, when they bricked my PC for daring to put a Sony CD in my computer’s CD player! Fucking rootkit.

Yes I’m still holding that grudge and I will not relent, for as long as I live.

Any movie I watch I make sure it’s not a Sony product, any music I listen to, I make doubly sure it’s not from a Sony studio. Any electronics I buy, I make triply sure it doesn’t contain any Sony product. Sony is not getting a dime from me ever again!

Fuck Sony!

Yes! I’ve never met anyone else who’s been boycotting Sony since the rootkit! Maybe there are dozens of us? Either way: fuck Sony!

That rootkit thing failed miserably, thankfully, and audio CDs have been DRM-free ever since.

Sure, but I'm not touching anything Sony with a 10 foot pole.

That's going to discount most of the camera market if not the entire camera market then because Sony makes basically everyone's imaging sensors, plus a large portion of the anime genre given that company bought out Funimation.
