The Globe and Mail: Ingram: Hey Sony - wake up:
Sony's EULA is like having a man appear at your door to sell you natural gas, and having him install a gas meter in your basement that unlocks your front door whenever the right code is entered -- either by the gas company or anyone else who knows how -- and fills your house with foul-smelling blue smoke if you try to remove it.
Via BoingBoing. The NYT picked up the Sony story in today's business section. I can't think of a corporate policy in recent memory that has backfired so spectacularly.
| EULA | Malware | Copyright | Copy Protection | DRM | Your Blank of the Day |
Not to be a grammar Nazi or anything, but that's a simile.
