Justice is blind, right? It’s perpetrated on the citizens evenly, if not fairly, regardless of who does what.
Unless you’re Sony BMG. In that case, you get a slap on the wrist for distributing computer software that hacks into your customers computers. Ditto for the company that provided the
software for distribution.
By comparison you or I would end up sitting in a maximum security prison for ten years and paying anything we had in restitution. Corporations, apparently, get far more using the defence that they’re idiots than us mere mortals.
If you’re Sony, all you have to do is promise to play nice for a few years. Oh, and they’ll actually have someone familiar with computers take a look at that whole “security” thing before they go and ship it to unsuspecting music buyers, infecting their machine with malicious programs.
How nice of them.
