Sony BMG hates piracy so much it sues its customers, installs vicious rootkit malware on their computers (including mine), pays companies like MediaDefender to flood P2P networks with fake music files, creates DVDs so riddled with copyright protection they won’t play in normal DVD players, and oh yeah, supports the power-hungry RIAA.

So I have to laugh when now Sony BMG is being sued for software piracy, and it’s not just a one-time deal.

Via ars technica:

PointDev, a French software company that makes Windows administration tools, received a call from a Sony BMG IT employee for support. After Sony BMG supplied a pirated license code for Ideal Migration, one of PointDev’s products, the software maker was able to mandate a seizure of Sony BMG’s assets. The subsequent raid revealed that software was illegally installed on four of Sony BMG’s servers. The Business Software Alliance, however, believes that up to 47 percent of the software installed on Sony BMG’s computers could be pirated.

I’m guessing this is only the beginning. What do you bet they find pirated music on their servers, too?
