Apparently Sony Animation is almost, if not more of a pile of dicks than Sony Online Entertainment and Sony Computer Entertainment. There's more here: http://blog.drawn.ca/post/36147847020/does-sony-pictures-own-your-art-portfolio But seriously, fuck these guys. I know that work is hard to find, ESPECIALLY in art fields, but this is so fucked up, it's not even funny.
Hey, at least sony doesn't ask you for your facebook password... *ducks the incoming bombardment of bricks* Oh, wait, they'd probably want ownership of that too. Can they even legally do that? If I changed the T&C of VF4 to say by using this place I can come to your house and take your stuff, doesn't absolve me from the fact that I'd still be stealing. And I'd still go to prison for it.
Music CD rootkits, Remove Other OS from PS3, now this... Sony should start a Coffin Nail factory. They seem to be doing all right at that so far...
Dear Sony Animation, What were you thinking when coming up with that contact. I can understand keeping current development project under wraps but artists have of all have rights to their artwork no matter the contact. That sums up what I think of their copyright rule.
