Is it right, I don't think it is. Is it legal, yes.

this makes me sad to say since ive grown up with play station and ps2, but i mustt admit that if this goes through(if it already hasnt) its time for me to stop supporting sony

The Supreme Court of Canada said otherwise to another major corporation that tried to force arbitration. In the SONY case it is actually worse because it is an attempt to get around privacy legislation as well. Here is my reference from before. http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/britis...ss-action.html

Just because a major corporation drafts an agreement it does not make it valid or legal.

I quit buying Sony products when they started putting viruses on CDs.

Thanks for posting this. I do not think I will buy from Sony again either.

Wow, I somehow missed that. It may be time to stop buying Sony products unless they seriously clean up their act

I heard about it on the news when it happened. The masses just don't care about news which is tech related. They'd rather spread news about other people than something that could potentially affect them. That, plus a good 80% of the population has no clue what a virus is.
