Correct.

What, did you think that just because they are using the legal system that they are somehow immune to being dicks?

I suppose that you would have stood up for slave owners back when that was legal? IP is an oxymoron and the law is wrong.

We aren't talking about enslaved humans. We are talking about a company defending its inventions, its business. I don't see where Sony are being "dicks".

No, we are talking about consumer rights, and the property rights of the legal owners of Sony manufactured devices. It may not be autonomy rights, but it is an issue of rights nevertheless.
