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

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 subject to your Internet

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

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

a single product, and you may not separate
its component parts for use on more than
one device unless expressly authorized by
Sony. You agree not to modify, reverse
engineer, decompile or disassemble the
Sony Software in whole or in part or to use
the Sony Software in whole or in part for
any purpose other than allowed under this
EULA. In addition, you may not rent, lease,
sublicense, or sell the Sony Software, but
you may transfer all of your rights under
this EULA only as part of a sale or transfer
of the Sony Product provided you retain no
copies, transfer all of the Sony Software
(including all copies, component parts, any
media, printed materials, all versions and
any upgrades of the Sony Software, and
this EULA), and the recipient agrees to the
terms of this EULA. Sony and its Third Party
Licensors retain all rights that this EULA
does not expressly grant to you. You shall
not (a) bypass, modify, defeat, or circumvent
any of the functions or protections of
the Sony Software or any mechanisms
operatively linked to the Sony Software;
or (b) remove, alter, cover, or deface any
trademarks or notices on the Sony Software.
You understand, acknowledge, and agree
that the software, network services, or other
2
products other than the Sony Software upon

depend might be interrupted or discontinued
at the discretion of the suppliers (software
suppliers, service providers, Third Party
Providers, etc.) or Sony.
USER ACCOUNT
As part of the agreement to allow you to
access, browse, or use the Services and
the Content, Third Party Providers and/
or other third parties may require that you
establish a user account (”Account”) for

accurate, current, and complete information
about yourself and maintain/promptly update
such information. You are responsible for
maintaining the confidentiality of any and all
of your passwords associated with any such
Account.
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 nonproprietary. 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 in, and Sony is free to
use, without any compensation to you, any
ideas, know-how, concepts, techniques, or
other intellectual property rights contained
in the Materials, whether or not patentable,
for any purpose whatsoever, including but
not limited to developing, manufacturing,
having manufactured, licensing, marketing,
and selling products using such Materials.
However, you agree and understand that
Sony is not obligated to use any such ideas,
know-how, concepts, or techniques or
Materials, and you have no right to compel
such use.
TRANSMITTED MATERIAL
Internet transmissions are never completely
private or secure. You 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 WMDRMprotected 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 that
Third Party Provider or its Content. You
understand and agree that the Services and/

(“Advertisements”), and that these
Advertisements are necessary in order
for the Services to be provided. You also

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
9
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 is not
restricted, and the output from the Program is covered
only if its contents constitute a work based on the
Program (independent of having been made by running
the Program). Whether that is true depends on what the
Program does.
1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies
of the Program’s source code as you receive it, in
any medium, provided that you conspicuously and
appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate
copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact
all the notices that refer to this License and to the
absence of any warranty; and give any other recipients
of the Program a copy of this License along with the
Program.
You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring
a copy, and you may at your option offer warranty
protection in exchange for a fee.
2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program
or any portion of it, thus forming a work based on the
Program, and copy and distribute such modifications or
work under the terms of Section 1 above, provided that
you also meet all of these conditions:
a) You must cause the modified files to carry
prominent notices stating that you changed the files and
the date of any change.
b) You must cause any work that you distribute or
publish, that in whole or in part contains or is derived
from the Program or any part thereof, to be licensed as
a whole at no charge to all third parties under the terms
of this License.
c) If the modified program normally reads commands
interactively when run, you must cause it, when started
running for such interactive use in the most ordinary
way, to print or display an announcement including an
appropriate copyright notice and a notice that there
is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide a
warranty) and that users may redistribute the program
under these conditions, and telling the user how to
view a copy of this License. (Exception: if the Program
itself is interactive but does not normally print such an
announcement, your work based on the Program is not
required to print an announcement.)
These requirements apply to the modified work as
a whole. If identifiable sections of that work are not
derived from the Program, and can be reasonably
considered independent and separate works in
themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not
apply to those sections when you distribute them as
separate works. But when you distribute the same
sections as part of a whole which is a work based on
the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on
the terms of this License, whose permissions for other
licensees extend to the entire whole, and thus to each
and every part regardless of who wrote it.
Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights
or contest your rights to work written entirely by you;
rather, the intent is to exercise the right to control the
distribution of derivative or collective works based on
the Program.
In addition, mere aggregation of another work not
based on the Program with the Program (or with a
work based on the Program) on a volume of a storage
or distribution medium does not bring the other work
under the scope of this License.
3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a
work based on it, under Section 2) in object code or
executable form under the terms of Sections 1 and 2
above provided that you also do one of the following:
a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding
machine-readable source code, which must be
distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2
above on a medium customarily used for software
interchange; or,
b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least
three years, to give any third party, for a charge no
more than your cost of physically performing source
distribution, a complete machine-readable copy of the
corresponding source code, to be distributed under
the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium
customarily used for software interchange; or,
c) Accompany it with the information you received as
to the offer to distribute corresponding source code.
(This alternative is allowed only for noncommercial
distribution and only if you received the program in
object code or executable form with such an offer, in
accord with Subsection b above.)
The source code for a work means the preferred
form of the work for making modifications to it. For
an executable work, complete source code means all
the source code for all modules it contains, plus any
associated interface definition files, plus the scripts
used to control compilation and installation of the
executable. However, as a special exception, the source
code distributed need not include anything that is
normally distributed (in either source or binary form)
with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so
on) of the operating system on which the executable
runs, unless that component itself accompanies the
executable.
If distribution of executable or object code is made by
offering access to copy from a designated place, then
offering equivalent access to copy the source code from
the same place counts as distribution of the source
code, even though third parties are not compelled to
copy the source along with the object code.

4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute
the Program except as expressly provided under
this License. Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify,
sublicense or distribute the Program is void, and will
automatically terminate your rights under this License.
However, parties who have received copies, or rights,
from you under this License will not have their licenses
terminated so long as such parties remain in full
compliance.
5. You are not required to accept this License, since you
have not signed it. However, nothing else grants you
permission to modify or distribute the Program or its
derivative works. These actions are prohibited by law if
you do not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying
or distributing the Program (or any work based on the
Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License
to do so, and all its terms and conditions for copying,
distributing or modifying the Program or works based
on it.
6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work
based on the Program), the recipient automatically
receives a license from the original licensor to copy,
distribute or modify the Program subject to these
terms and conditions. You may not impose any further
restrictions on the recipients’ exercise of the rights
granted herein. You are not responsible for enforcing
compliance by third parties to this License.
7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation
of patent infringement or for any other reason (not
limited to patent issues), conditions are imposed on you
(whether by court order, agreement or otherwise) that
contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you
cannot distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your
obligations under this License and any other pertinent
obligations, then as a consequence you may not
distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent
license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of
the Program by all those who receive copies directly
or indirectly through you, then the only way you could
satisfy both it and this License would be to refrain
entirely from distribution of the Program.
If any portion of this section is held invalid or
unenforceable under any particular circumstance,
the balance of the section is intended to apply and
the section as a whole is intended to apply in other
circumstances. It is not the purpose of this section to
induce you to infringe any patents or other property
right claims or to contest validity of any such claims;
this section has the sole purpose of protecting the
integrity of the free software distribution system, which
is implemented by public license practices. Many
people have made generous contributions to the wide
range of software distributed through that system in
reliance on consistent application of that system; it is
up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing
to distribute software through any other system and a
licensee cannot impose that choice.
This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what
is believed to be a consequence of the rest of this
License.
8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is
restricted in certain countries either by patents or by
copyrighted interfaces, the original copyright holder
who places the Program under this License may add an
explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding
those countries, so that distribution is permitted only
in or among countries not thus excluded. In such case,
this License incorporates the limitation as if written in
the body of this License.
9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised
and/or new versions of the General Public License
from time to time. Such new versions will be similar in
spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
address new problems or concerns.
Each version is given a distinguishing version number.
If the Program specifies a version number of this
License which applies to it and “any later version”, you
have the option of following the terms and conditions
either of that version or of any later version published
by the Free Software Foundation. If the Program does
not specify a version number of this License, you may
choose any version ever published by the Free Software
Foundation.
10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into
other free programs whose distribution conditions are
different, write to the author to ask for permission. For
software which is copyrighted by the Free Software
Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we
sometimes make exceptions for this. Our decision will
be guided by the two goals of preserving the free status
of all derivatives of our free software and of promoting
the sharing and reuse of software generally.
NO WARRANTY
BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF
CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE
PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY
APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE
STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS
AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM
“AS IS” WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND,
EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT
NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY
AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU.
SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU
ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING,
REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE
LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING WILL ANY
COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY
WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE
PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO
YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL,
SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES
ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE
