There has to be a way for us to get to these big corporations trying to
impose their wants on us.

Just a thought: if we can find some various items of technological merit
in Sony kit (whatever), if enough of us go into our local Sony retailer,
and propose to buy that piece of kit, and then prevaricate to the tune
of a couple of hours, exploring any alternatives to the particular piece
of Sony kit (well, doesn't the Ghmx-x-100 from xxx do that?)

Then when we have wasted a couple of hours of a sales assistant's time,
tell them EXACTLY why we won't touch Sony with a barge-pole.

Perhaps Sony would get the message when it starts to come back loud and
clear from their retailers.

My 2p worth.
