I'm for a boycott of all things Sony, and for letting the artists

I buy CDs exclusively because of the greater freedom they afford
(among other things.) I also would consider pirating music if
these rights are compromised.
Thankfully, the uproar over the ham-handed way that Sony tried to
infect the music world (and the fact that they were sued, and the
fact that crackers quickly figured out how to hide under Sony BMG's
rootkit's skirts) has led them to suspend production of those discs.
