Whut?
My decade+ long boycott of Sony's garbage is looking more and more prescient every day.
I am on a boycott since the Sony Rootkit Scandal.
A beautiful case to bring up to anti piracy boot lickers.
Same. I had an early, expensive CD-RW back in the day that Sony's DRM ruined.

Fuck Sony and their anti-consumer bullshit
That's just good policy. Yelling at support personal or making them unsafe should not be celebrated. What is wrong with you?
I always thought this stance to be interesting, because it reminds me of soldiers in a conflict. The arguments are that the enemy rank and file are just doing their jobs, they have a family, the actual evil bigwig is out of reach, etc.
But also, are you just going to do nothing and let them steamroll you? They're choosing to continue to work at that business, and are the only "frontline" that you can interact with. The fact that the business made a policy specifically addressing this common complaint, means it actually reached the ears of someone in power.
I'm not encouraging violence or anything of course. But, by design, there's nobody else to voice your displeasure to. The only other option is to quietly accept their changes and be ignored.
If they didn't want angry people calling, maybe they shouldn't make terrible decisions?
Screaming at a minimum wage call center employee doesn't actually do anything but make their day worse.
When you shoot the soldier who's marching through your home you're depleting the enemy army of people.

Slander?
Is it legally possible to slander Sony?
