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?

    Heard this one about microsoft on HN as well. How did that turn out?

    Companies culture tend to degrade over time, rarely improve.

    It's perfectly faire therefore to requiere overwhelming demonstration of good faith to invalidate such a massive bad behavior.

    They Never did So they deserve the PR hit.

    Which honestly they didn't take nearly as much as they should have.

    Stop defending the billion dollars corps. They have proved over and over they are not our friends.

    At best our interests are temporarily aligned.

    People working for them are not innocent either. They know the company past, they signed their contracts, and stayed despite the culture.

    There is such thing as free will, they have their responsability too.

    The "a few bad apples" argument is old and tired now. And the "not all People have a choice" have been repeated a nauseam.
