Sony Sub-think
In order to get your DRM-free Sony music you will need to travel to a dealer of antique physical music formats. There you must pay approximately $13 to purchase an object (very likely a piece of a dead tree) upon which has been inscribed, in a ludicrous parody of security, an arbitrary and unencrypted code (note that it will not be necessary to provide your public key). This code, when entered into the more civilized medium of a web site, will activate the download of your music.

When planning your purchase you should account for the price of travelling to and from the antique dealer. Also adjust for being forced to download an entire album including the tracks you do not want. Take note that there are only 37 albums from the catalogue that may be purchased in this manner and that at least two of those are Britney Spears and Barry Manilow. It may also be prudent to consider the fact that, while at the antique dealer, you will be able to purchase a piece of physical media containing a higher-quality version of the music for approximately the same price. At this point it will prove enlightening to compare the cost and convenience of this venture with that of gabbing a torrent.

Sony, you were more trouble than you were worth yesterday. You're worth even less today.
