FOR CERTAIN SOFTWARE AND SERVICE TO BE USED

WITH YOUR SONY PRODUCT

IMPORTANT – READ THIS AGREEMENT
BEFORE USING YOUR SONY PRODUCT.
USING YOUR PRODUCT INDICATES YOUR
ACCEPTANCE OF THIS AGREEMENT.

This End User License Agreement
(“EULA”) is a legal agreement between
you and Sony Electronics Inc. (“Sony”),
the licensor of the software (other than
the software which is governed by
other licenses as indicated below, the
“Excluded Software”) included in this
Sony Product and related materials which
shall be collectively referred to as the
“Sony Software.” This EULA covers the
Sony Software and that of Sony’s third
party licensors (“Third Party Licensors”)
and accompanying printed or online
documentation. The Sony Software
includes software in your Sony Product,
other software, including updates or
modified software, provided to you
by Sony, whether stored on media or
downloaded to the Sony Product via any
method.

This Sony Product also includes the Sony
Entertainment Network feature which
provides access to selected content
services (“Services”) from third party
content providers including Sony entities
other than Sony Electronics Inc. (“Third
Party Providers”) as a courtesy to you.
The Sony Entertainment Network feature
also provides you access to selected
Sony content services (“Sony Content
Services”), which services and related
content (“Sony Content”) shall both be
considered Sony Software under this
EULA. The Sony Entertainment Network
feature requires an Internet connection.
Your ability to access the Services, and
the quality of the Services presented, are
subject to your Internet provider’s service
and terms as well as the broadband
Internet connection speed you use. Your
ability to access the Services, and the
quality of the Services presented, are

4-411-995-13 (1)

subject to your Internet provider’s service
and terms. Video quality and picture
size varies and is dependent upon the
speed of your broadband service from
your Internet provider and delivery by
the Third Party Providers. The content,
including but not limited to data, music,
sound, audio, photographs, images,
graphics, likenesses, software, text,
video, messages, tags, or other materials,
provided by Third Party Providers
(“Content”) and the availability of the
Services are at the sole discretion and
under the control of the Third Party
Providers. The Content and Services of
each Third Party Provider are provided
pursuant to the terms and conditions
of that Third Party Provider. Premium
Content may require additional fees and/or
registration with the Third Party Provider
through a computer. The Services and the
Content may only be used for your own
personal, private viewing, and shall not
be used for non-theatrical exhibition, or
any viewing or exhibition for which (or in
a venue in which) an admission, access,
or viewing fee is charged, or for any
public exhibition or viewing. The Services
may be changed at any time and may be
unavailable from time to time.

THE SONY SOFTWARE AND THE
SERVICES MAY ALLOW SONY, THE
THIRD PARTY PROVIDERS, AND/OR
OTHER THIRD PARTIES TO COLLECT
DATA FROM, CONTROL, AND/OR
MONITOR THE SONY PRODUCT
AND OTHER DEVICES RUNNING
OR INTERACTING WITH THE SONY
SOFTWARE. YOU HEREBY CONSENT

PROVIDERS OR OTHER THIRD PARTIES

AND SONY’S PRIVACY POLICY. If you

do not agree to the terms of this EULA or
Sony’s privacy policy, as amended from
time to time by Sony in its discretion,
Sony is unwilling to license the Sony
Software to you and unwilling to allow you
to access the Services, and you should

only as part of a sale or transfer of the
Sony Product provided you retain no
copies, transfer all of the Sony Software

SONY’S RIGHTS TO USER’S MATERIAL

If you send any communications or
materials to Sony by electronic mail or
otherwise (“Materials”), including any
selections, comments, data, questions,
suggestions, or the like, all such
Materials are, and will be treated as,
non-confidential and non-proprietary.
Thus, you give up any claim that use of
such Materials violates any of your rights
including moral rights, privacy rights,
proprietary or other property rights, rights
of publicity, rights to credit for material
or ideas, or any other right, including
the right to approve the way Sony uses
such Materials. Any Material may be
adapted, broadcast, changed, copied,
disclosed, licensed, performed, posted,
published, sold, transmitted, or used
by Sony anywhere in the world, in any
medium, forever and without attribution or
compensation to you. Furthermore, you
hereby assign all right, title, and interest

not limited to developing, manufacturing,
having manufactured, licensing,

understand that any message or
information you send to Sony may be read
or intercepted by others, unless there is
a special notice that a particular message
(for example, credit card information)
is encrypted (sent in code). Sending a
message to Sony does not cause Sony to
have any special responsibility to you.

DIGITAL RIGHTS MANAGEMENT

Content owners use Windows Media
digital rights management technology
(“WMDRM”) to protect their intellectual
property, including copyrights. This
Sony Product uses WMDRM software to
access WMDRM-protected Content. If
the WMDRM software fails to protect
the Content, Content owners may ask
Microsoft Corporation (“Microsoft”)
to revoke the Service’s ability to use
WMDRM to play or copy protected
Content. Revocation does not affect
unprotected Content. If you download
licenses for protected Content, you agree
that Microsoft may include a revocation
list with the licenses. Content owners may
require you to upgrade WMDRM to access
their Content. If you decline an upgrade,
you will not be able to access Content that
requires the upgrade.

Provider does not mean that Sony
approves of, or endorses, or recommends

necessary in order for the Services to be
provided. You also understand and agree

it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is
covered by the GNU Library General Public License
instead.) You can apply it to your programs, too.

When we speak of free software, we are referring to
freedom, not price. Our General Public Licenses are

designed to make sure that you have the freedom to
distribute copies of free software (and charge for this
service if you wish), that you receive source code
or can get it if you want it, that you can change the
software or use pieces of it in new free programs;
and that you know you can do these things.

To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions
that forbid anyone to deny you these rights or to
ask you to surrender the rights. These restrictions
translate to certain responsibilities for you if you
distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.

For example, if you distribute copies of such a
program, whether gratis or for a fee, you must give
the recipients all the rights that you have. You must
make sure that they, too, receive or can get the
source code. And you must show them these terms
so they know their rights.

We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright
the software, and (2) offer you this license which
gives you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or
modify the software.

Also, for each author’s protection and ours, we want
to make certain that everyone understands that there
is no warranty for this free software. If the software
is modified by someone else and passed on, we want
its recipients to know that what they have is not the
original, so that any problems introduced by others
will not reflect on the original authors’ reputations.

Finally, any free program is threatened constantly
by software patents. We wish to avoid the danger
that redistributors of a free program will individually
obtain patent licenses, in effect making the program
proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear
that any patent must be licensed for everyone’s free
use or not licensed at all.

The precise terms and conditions for copying,
distribution and modification follow.

GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE TERMS AND

CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND

MODIFICATION

0. This License applies to any program or other work

which contains a notice placed by the copyright
holder saying it may be distributed under the terms
of this General Public License. The “Program”,
below, refers to any such program or work, and
a “work based on the Program” means either the
Program or any derivative work under copyright law:
that is to say, a work containing the Program or a
portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications
and/or translated into another language. (Hereinafter,
translation is included without limitation in the term
“modification”.) Each licensee is addressed as “you”.

Activities other than copying, distribution and
modification are not covered by this License; they
are outside its scope. The act of running the Program
