Consider how the fight over Open Document relates to these closed systems. Not something TCGroup members want to see.

But isn't there a way to hold Sony liable for infecting a system with an unsolicited program? There must be a law that protects the consumer from Sony hacking our computers. It is not yet illegal to put a copy of a CD on your computer, so long as it is not shared in any way. Even if someone DOES share the files, doens't that make Sony a vigilante for trying to enforce piracy laws, circumventing law enforcement agencies?
