Since this thread has gone about as far as it can and everyone is being nice I'll just make the point one last time then I'll drop the whole damn thing.
Even though you paid money for the software you don't own it. Its a nasty fact of life in the software licensing world. You own nothing. You just paid for the right to use it as they allow. Thats what the license says. Sony owns all rights to the software on your computer and on the CD. You may not like it but, its how the system works. You don't own the CD, the software contaned on it, or even the software now on your hard drive. Its illegal to transfer or modify or use for any purpose other then what they allow. Its stupid, its not often enforced but, when it is the software company always wins. As microsoft is doing right now in the case of the company that sold MS software that got sold to another owner. Microsoft removed thier rights to even sell MS software. You can buy a 1000 copies of eq or MS office and you actually own nothing but, 1000 software licenses. Welcome to the real world Neo.
