One top of all the other bad decisions and the PR nightmare Sony has created for themselves… the EFF (Electronic Frontier Foundation) has a great write-up of the more unbelievable terms in the 3,000 word UELA you agree to when you purchase Sony CDs.

Some of my favorite ones…
“Sony-BMG can install and use backdoors in the copy protection software or media player to “enforce their rights” against you, at any time, without notice. And Sony-BMG disclaims any liability if this “self help” crashes your computer, exposes you to security risks, or any other harm.”

“If you file for bankruptcy, you have to delete all the music on your computer. Seriously.”

“If your house gets burgled, you have to delete all your music from your laptop when you get home. That’s because the EULA says that your rights to any copies terminate as soon as you no longer possess the original CD.”

“If you move out of the country, you have to delete all your music. The EULA specifically forbids “export” outside the country where you reside.”

A product better be reeaaaalllly damn cool if I am going to give my money to Sony ever again.
