Looks like DRM prevented to watch movies in many theaters yesterday
“Due to nation-wide technical difficulties with Sony, we aren’t able to play any titles today.”
From the article:
When we went to our seats, the wait staff let us know that despite the fact that the previews were playing, we wouldn’t know until the movie actually started whether we could see the film or not. If it didn’t work, the screen would just turn black. Luckily, the film went through without a hitch.

The marvels of intellectual property
Remember when they started infecting people's computers with rootkits?
I've avoided Sony products as best I can since then. I'm probably not aware of the full suite of Sony-owned brands and companies, but rootkit made it so I haven't had a piece of Sony branded merchandise in almost 20 years.
Same here! It's absolutely bonkers to me that everyone was just OK with that.
can younplease explain to me what happened. I haven't heard about this one
My wf-xm4 earphones have battery problems and sony won't do any about it. it's a known problem, so I went out and got a sony es receiver, that has a known hissing problem and they won't do anything about it. Maybe ill learn someday.
Oh fuck I’d forgotten about that.
I knew I hated Sony, but I’d totally forgotten about that.
Hilariously enough, even at the theater, you'd get a better experience pirating the movie. Y'know, cause you'd ACTUALLY GET TO WATCH THE MOVIE AT ALL. Proving yet again piracy is a service problem.
You could probably only find CAMS for in theater movies anyways.
And a CAM is arguably worse than nothing
capitalist efficiency at its very best
Death to America
Sony is a Japanese corporation
That's 2Password2Remember, they sign off every comment that way. It's surprisingly relevant a lot of the time, though: America has had an almost unrivaled hand in shaping the economic landscape of Japan, from the San Francisco Treaty to the Plaza Accords
Japan is an American corporation
You joke, but Japan hasn't even been allowed to have their own military since WWII. They barely are a separate nation.
"Death to America" is like our version of "and peace be with you." It's a nice phrase to say at the end of every statement.
Death to America to you as well
