The problem is not with individuals, but with company culture, and when it comes to hating your customers I don't think there's many large companies that goes beyond Sony's age old history on the field. I could name many more examples, but... yeah, let's discuss Nokia.

well it's clear we disagree and nothing can change your mind of Sony but just to set something straight, he was not promoted at all yet alone several times since the XCP rootkit or even the merge.

In fact he was not a part of Sony for them to be able to promote him because he was actually a Bertelsmann employee (Bertelsmann Music Group specifically) through most of it and there is nothing Sony could do (even if they wished to) because it was a joint venture.

He was always "President of Global Digital Business, US Sales and Strategy". throughout the BMG merge (2004), the rootkit fiasco (2006) and the buyout of BMG (2008/9), right up until he left to go back to Bertelsmann (2011). Not a single promotion. Officially he was a Sony employee for roughly 3 years only, between early 2009 and late 2011. Much like anyone else in the movie/music industry e.g. Universal and Time-Warner, Bertelsmann don't catch any of the bad press though.

On the topic, Nokia stock is at 1.94. Good times. One person had a particularly interesting strategy but I think it's actually a bad one because since 2007 it has been largely sporadic.
