Oddly, this doesn't come as a surprise

At a breakfast Thursday cohosted by the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications at Syracuse University and The New Yorker, Sony Pictures Entertainment CEO Michael Lynton told the audience his not-so-inner thoughts about the Internet.

“I’m a guy who doesn’t see anything good having come from the Internet... (The Internet) created this notion that anyone can have whatever they want at any given time. It’s as if the stores on Madison Avenue were open 24 hours a day. They feel entitled. They say, ‘Give it to me now,’ and if you don’t give it to them for free, they’ll steal it.”

Yeah, what the hell happened? I bought a Sony receiver, cd player and cassette deck (lower end individual components)back in 1993. They stayed powered on for about 15 years, never a problem, and these were "entry level" models. the only thing that killed the CD player was that eventually the gears started slipping on the tray and it couldn't eject.

Now, I wouldn't touch them with any more fondness than any other no-name Chinese plastic mass production crap.
