Semper911. I read an article in the Daily News. Sony does not want to go in to your computer and delete a file. They want to put a virus on there CD's so if you try to copy it on your computer it destroyes your computer. They already have tried it and they are being sued. How much did they give to Berman for campane donations? Betchah they gave a lot.

Sony does not want to go in to your computer and delete a file. They want to put a virus on there CD's so if you try to copy it on your computer it destroyes your computer.

So they want permission to destroy peoples property.

Watch, as about a million people end up destroying theirs.
