Like #Bose earlier this year, Sony is shutting down servers for some of its #audiovisual products. But unlike Bose, which went to great pains to enable people to #maintain as much #functionality as possible, Sony's devices will lose many core #features as a result.

@scriptkiddie wrote a couple letters to congress and state representatives ... It's bananas these companies can cripple products and nothing happens. Same with cars.
