That was 20 years ago

While it is indeed 20 years ago, it should not be forgiven, if they continue to pull off shitty things like this lawsuit.

Ok but Sony is not a time-contiguous person. Half the people there 20 years ago are dead or retired by now.

		You're right. The people working there now have had plenty of time to learn about these egregious crimes and implement better policy so that they don't repeat the crimes of their predecessors... Right?

		And it makes it our problem exactly how? Young assholes replace old assholes, and on and on it goes.

Yes, they've been at it for that long.

Sony once was a great company. Excellent electronics, great service.

Then they became a media empire...

		Japanese companies have always been heavy enforcers of IP, at least since the 1980s. For example, IIRC, they're one of the top filers of patents. Sanrio makes more money globally on their characters than Disney does. And Japan pushes for stronger international IP enforcement systems than even the US. Japan is just quiet about it. Sony is no aberration.

So it proves that this behavior is not new.

It's my Roman Empire.
