Sony reckons everyone's a pirate

Not quite right

This is not an universal law. In Sweden for instance, you are permitted to perform backups without it being considered theft. Furthermore, you are also allowed to share a purchased CD (for instance), with your nearest family, again w/o it being classified as illegal.

Ridiculous...

Surely, then, Sony are aiding and abetting these 'criminal' actions by packaging their Sony Ericsson phones with the 'Disc2Phone' software, which helps you copy CDs to your phone in MP3 format?!

Same in Poland. You're free to back it up (which means you could successfully sue companies for using cd-protections) and are free to share your cd with family [b] and close friends[/b].
