Quote

Sony BMG, a company known for enforcing its intellectual property rights, is now facing the other end of an Intellectual Property related lawsuit. A report (French) says the complaining company, PointDev, seized some of Sonys assets which revealed that the pirated software appeared on four of their servers.


PointDev, a small software company, mandated a bailiff to raid one of Sony BMGs owned building in January this year. The raid revealed that four of the Sony BMGs owned servers contained the pirated software.

It appears as though the company discovered this when an IT department employee requested assistance for the use of a product called Ideal Migration. When technical support looked into the case, they discovered that the key used to activate the software was a pirated version.

I never said I was a sony lover. I'm just saying it really doesn't matter in the big picture. It would be the same thing with legal problems at MS or Creative (which I hate).

Yes, that's true, but this find does make them fairly hypocrite about sueing the small downloaders imo :g:
