Sony's lost revenue

I was looking at laptop computers and a flat-screen desktop monitor today and found some Sony models very attractive. But I decided not to buy them because Sony has seen fit to release CDs copy protected in a manner that makes them unusable in iPods, iTunes or any other standard MP3 players and damages computers to which the disks are ripped.

The malicious Sony software that does the damage even gets installed, it now appears, if a user clicks no to Sony's license agreement and aborts the ripping process. There's no other way to put it, these guys are scum!
