Bought a Bluray Disc. Sony still tracks you.

Tried to support the industry by buying a movie a watch a lot. Well, no more. If I need a pihole just to watch a movie I own, that's ridiculous.

Yes I’m still holding that grudge and I will not relent, for as long as I live.
Any movie I watch I make sure it’s not a Sony product, any music I listen to, I make doubly sure it’s not from a Sony studio. Any electronics I buy, I make triply sure it doesn’t contain any Sony product. Sony is not getting a dime from me ever again!
Fuck Sony!

That's going to discount most of the camera market if not the entire camera market then because Sony makes basically everyone's imaging sensors, plus a large portion of the anime genre given that company bought out Funimation.

So you have to buy from your least hated Sony. You can't just boycott Sony.
