But I wasn't pointing out "evil"ness at all. It was all about IRONY, hence the subject.

But earlier on...

we're going to ensure that the only way to get any future product will be for us to sell it to some middle-man company via an OEM arrangement, let them mark it up further, and let THEM sell it to you.

Hey, the subject is one thing, but that statement really sounds like SonicBlue is doing their damnedest to screw the customer. I apologize for taking this out of context.
