Why yes I did boycott Sony nearly 30 years ago.

The worst part was the response from someone high up at Sony was "most of the people who [had the rootkit installed on their PC against their will] dont know what a rootkit is anyways, so why should I care?"

Really was the tip of the privacy era iceberg if you ask me.
