Sony BMG being sued for using warez

[drew and not u]

Talk about irony!

PointDev, a French software company that makes Windows administration tools, received a call from a Sony BMG IT employee for support. After Sony BMG supplied a pirated license code for Ideal Migration, one of PointDev's products, the software maker was able to mandate a seizure of Sony BMG's assets. The subsequent raid revealed that software was illegally installed on four of Sony BMG's servers. The Business Software Alliance, however, believes that up to 47 percent of the software installed on Sony BMG's computers could be pirated.

I don't think that's why at all.

you don't think... thats the problem
and my comment was said tongue in cheek, not seriously...

as for a serious comment:

Sony BMG has their ways of being the "do as I say, not as I do" type of company for years with different things so this new development does not surprise me.

And how do you come to this conclusion? I think most if not all big and small companies do this in one way or another, its called industrial espionage. Steal from another company that does something better than you, then you improve upon it or just use it illeaglly, and make it better and call it your own. If you dont beleive this happens you are living a lie.
How many illeagle programs you have/had on your computer? Me, I have used several in my computing(napster anyone?)
