Is it even possible to boycott Sony? Or are they like some other entities: tentacles wrapped around so many things that we can’t avoid them?

    The only thing I've not been able to divest myself from Sony is HDMI. If I could buy a TV with a decent amount of DisplayPort and no HDMI, I'd be so happy. My level of distrust goes back to their rootkit on music CD scandal.

    I don't get how HDMI got so popular. DP had much better features earlier on. And no licensing fees.

    Iirc the main reason for HDMI was its copy protection and Sony BluRay players only having HDMI. I could be wrong though.

    Its usually easy to avoid using their hardware directly but they have a pretty big slice of media.

    There’s the problem. It’s fairly easy for me to avoid those slices since I don’t care for their movies or any of their artists. But some of their tech has become de facto standard, so that’s harder.

    All game consoles and game companies are run by corporations. There are no ethical ones. If you really don't like all this bullshit they pull, all you can do is stop gaming
