It looks like Sony-BMG might be thinking of ditching it’s role as a software company after all. They’re taking the issue “very seriously”, it’s reported.

Now, half the states in the union sueing them might have prompted a bit of heart-to-heart on how important corrupting unsuspecting users PC’s really is. Do they derive financial gain from it? Not really. Does it stop people from copying music they purchase to (gasp) listen to on the go? No.

Sorry Sony, you might have to stick to selling people one copy of albums for the foreseeable future instead of doubling prices and charging for the music in every conceivable format individually.
