And I sort of liked Sony. Oh well. Where do they find these guys for all their middle management positions? Does he know what a computer is? How the internet works? One thing he obviously knows is how to piss people off. Here's the report on a speech given by Steve Heckler, senior vice president of Sony Pictures Entertainment Inc.. And here is a little taste of the good part:
"Sony is going to take aggressive steps
to stop [Napster]," Heckler told the Summer
Forty-Niner. "We will develop technology
that transcends the individual user. We
will firewall Napster at source -- we
will block it at your cable company, we
will block it at your phone company, we
will block it at your [Internet-service
provider]. We will firewall it at your PC..." Huh? Sony is going to firewall my PC? Ummm, I don't think so. Somebody at Sony should get a clue and smack this guy down before he does them any more damage. Or maybe he's a double agent, and secretly working to rally the Gnutella forces?
