There is a real opportunity for Sony to hammer the final nail into the Xbox coffin if they would just listen to their customers. However, I fully expect that they will cock it up completely and hammer the final nail in their own coffin instead.
The thing is, though, every debate on the EU that I come across gets boiled down to a shouting match on immigrants, terrorist deportation and other Daily Mail rhetoric.
I don't think we should have an EU debate until a calm and rational debate of the facts is possible. Or at least until the public has some understanding on what it is they would be voting for.

Like yourself, I do my best not to infringe copyright but, as you say, with copyright as it is it is almost impossible not to infringe in some way or another.
