Sony is evil

I'd add:

5. HORRIBLE SonicStage software.
6. No WMA OGG - only MP3 and horrific exclusive to sony ATTRAC
7. Sony leading the way for extremely restricted copyright laws. If they had their way, you couldn't make a legal backup copy of any music or movie that you own. Or transfer it from your CD to say, your personal MP3 player.

The list goes on and on. I do not buy SONY anymore after decades of being a big Sony booster.
