No, in Nuremberg the war was over. The enemy had been defeated. It was time to move on. But people were being prosecuted (and still are) as a spectator sport.

Sony on the other had is a fully functioning company that is by far not defeated. Each employee needs to take fully responsibility for the company they work for.

Not sure why people have it in for Sony though.

Sony is a pretty terrible company. That doesn't mean that their rank-and-file employees deserve what happened, but you don't have to search very far to come to the realization that the Sony conglomerate is one of the most anti-consumer organizations in the business world.

That's... Wow. Specially the one about the preinstalled rootkit. My present batch of gizmos (Laptop, smartphone, e-reader...) were all Sony becouse all seemed the best I could buy at the moment of the purchase. I will seriously consider buying anything at all from them the next time.
