Choose Your Destiny

After announcing another useless update, the 'good' folks at Sony PlayStation is now making us sign up for a new Terms of Service, as well as giving us a new Privacy Policy. This means if you want to use there services, such as PSN and Qriocity, you will have to agree to these new changes. For those interested, the following is a direct copy of the email I received from them earlier tonight:
