I don't claim this is something to be proud of, but from that scandal to this day, I buy nothing from Sony, and neither does my company. Trust counts.

Good for you - you avoided having any purchased movies deleted from your playstation.

If I could I avoided sony and steered a number of other people away from them ... it was a good call [1]

I do the same. Not out of pride but basic morals.
