New Hampshire has open source law & Netherlands has net neutrality law...

Will this logic spread?

And spread and spread, ...then will the world also see the logic of where
software is math, and should not be patented at all, for all the
"obvious" reasons?

Sony shares tank to 31-year low - note to Sony
Authored by: Anonymous on Friday, May 11 2012 @ 12:31 PM EDT

Article link.

The news comes after Sony this week announced a record annual loss of ... ($5.71 billion).
Dear Sony;

Due to your decisions concerning your customers I was one, of many I hope, who decided to no longer be your customer. As a result of no longer being your customer, I hope I played a role in your $5.71 Billion loss.

It is not right - even if it might be Legally ruled acceptable - to arbitrarily decide to remove functionality on components people have purchased. I was one of many directly impacted by your decision to remove the "other OS" function of the PS3. That one factor was the deciding factor which lead to my purchase decision.

The above example is just one of several that have occurred over the last couple years. As you have such an untrustworthy personality - a consumer can not rely on their Sony product to continue functioning as-is - it was very easy for me to decide to no longer be your customer.

Again, I repeat: I hope that I played some small role - Legally of course as I have the Legal right to choose not to be your customer - in helping you realize a $5.71 Billion loss. I look forward to "working with you more" in the future in order to continue the trend.

RAS
