Anti-Piracy Malware Enthusiasts Sony BMG Sued For Piracy
PointDev’s CEO, Agustoni Paul-Henry, underlines what a douche move Sony BMG has been pulling.
“We are forced to watch every week if key software pirates are not [sic] on the Internet. We are a small company of six employees. Instead of trying to protect us, we could spend this time to develop ourselves.
I think piracy is linked to the policy of a company. If the employee has the necessary funding to buy the software he needs, he will. If this is not the case, he will find alternative ways, as the work must be done in one way or another.”
PointDev is suing for under half a million in damages, about what the RIAA would hit you for if you shared three songs via the peer-to-peer program of your choice.
