2011-04-19: I've improved the wording in this version; the
            version I sent was slighly different and in
            particular it incorrectly said "persecute" instead
            of "procecute"; sorry, I had written too fast.
            I've also clarified the scope of my objections in
            the first paragraph, despite it being very clear
            anyway for the intended receiver.

Madam,

I find the recent actions of your company, in relation to the
removal of the "OtherOS" feature from the PS3 firmware and the
subsequent legal action, extremely disturbing.

Not only Sony seems actively engaged in *removing* useful features,
working directly against the interest of its customers, but it also
abuses the court system by making it an instrument to harass and
intimidate people engaged in constructive work, who simply try
removing such arbitrary limitations, to everyone's benefit. 

Such contempt for its own customers is well visible, and of course has
an impact on the public perception of the company.  It's incredible
that Sony continues to actively work against people for the alleged
"crime" of trying to run software not explicitly authorized by the
company, on hardware they own -- working on removing Sony's
anti-features and publishing the relevant information is something
worthy of praise.
  Your company is attempting to penally prosecute decent people
because of their being cooperative to others.  As a fellow decent
human being I also feel deeply insulted.

I, for one, am publicly boycotting Sony and I will strive to make my
message as widely visible as possible.  I do not care about games
anyway, but I will still avoid *all* Sony products, urging everybody
else to do the same, until this attack of yours on everybody's freedom
lasts.
