So i had this whole thing written up, and then Opera crashes on me. So in short: I will not be buying any more Sony products and they will lose my business. Nor will I recommend their products to anyone.
As for EA's EULA, I think the US government should take them to court over the trial by jury thing, and send a message that this kind of shit won't be tolerated. That, or Ron Paul needs to be elected president in 2012. Cuz that's the only guy that's gonna solve any sort of problems for us.

I'll stick to my preferred method of making my position known.
That is, I wont go near EA or Sony digital products until the companies themselves change their modus operandi.
Opt out is all and fine, but just the fact these companies rather abuse their source of income (customers) then cater to them will not change.
These corporations do not see you as people any more. Your letters will not be read (or will be read by some person in China). But once customers are able to hold of their urges ...
Be an informed consumer and vote with your wallet!
Just delaying your game purchase for a week after release will have them running in panic.

Aye, I'm aware of that.Raiyan 1.0 said:
Really, the only reason why this is happening is the general lack of customer's awareness and knowledge. Until that changes, corporations will use it to basically rob customers blind.
As they say, knowledge empowers.
But it has to be a personal choice. Not just posting "Yeah!" on this weeks popular boycott thread, but actually making informed choices before parting with your money.
I'm glad you got my point, Mr. Grammar police. That's all you saw in my post?RhombusHatesYou said:

It won't help you one bit tho.doggie015 said:
Hypothetically:
You loose access to your Origin account, due to a dubious decision made by EA. Thus losing ability to play a number of games you purchased legally. Let's also assume the reason EA blocked your account was not legally correct. Let's also assume this happened to 1000 oter users of Origin.
Options:
- Class action: Enables all 1000 of you that were wronged to basically litigate EA as one person. Needing a single legal council and sharing the legal cost involved. Doable.
- Private lawsuit: You yourself has to provided thousands of dollars in order to restore your account which probably doesn't have a value of more than one thousand.
As you see ... you don't loose the right to litigate in any of those options. However, they know damned well at EA legal they can bankrupt you before you will win. Cynicism at its legal best!
According to Stichting BREIN, they do. And you can implicitly agree to that EULA by walking past their office. And you probably lose that class action suit because the court date was 3 weeks ago. And you have been tried in absentia for defamation at the same time. And settled for giving them your laptop and car.Woodsey said:
One of the above facts didn't happen (yet).
You don't need to walk past their office, only visit their website.
