Sony: Difference between revisions - Consumer Rights Wiki

Line 16:

Sony has found itself involved in many controversies in the past, most commonly consumer rights and management of digital content issues. They have included instances such as Sony BMG rootkit in 2005, where copy protection software tracked users in secret and added security holes, which were the target of lawsuits and recalls. Sony has also had run-ins with digital content access, like trying to close down the PlayStation Store on older systems and removing "forever" licenses on Funimation content, which was met with pushback and reversal.

More recently, the ~~mandatory~~ PSN account requirement mandated by Sony in Helldivers 2 and binding arbitration provisions in Crunchyroll's terms of service have been criticized as restrictive of user choice and access.

More recently, the [[wikipedia:PlayStation_Network|PlayStation Network]] (PSN) [[Forced account|account requirement]] mandated by Sony in ''Helldivers 2'' and binding arbitration provisions in Crunchyroll's terms of service have been criticized as restrictive of user choice and access.
