Sony takes another step to ensure
“Security.”
Use
Sony's PlayStation Network, Waive Rights to Class-Action Suit?
… As first
discovered
by The Examiner, Sony updated its PlayStation Network terms of
service on September 15 to ban class-action lawsuits against the
company.
"Any dispute resolution
proceedings, whether in arbitration or court, will be conducted only
on an individual basis and not in a class or representative action or
as a named or unnamed member in a class, consolidated,
representative, or private attorney general action unless you and
[Sony] agree to do so in writing," according to the updated
terms.
It is possible to allow trading freedom
while still monitoring risk. When would UBS managers want to be
informed about unusual trade volumes or risk levels? Apparently,
never.
"With the
benefit of hindsight, IT experts are claiming that technical
countermeasures at Swiss bank UBS could
have stopped rogue trader Kweku Adoboli running up a $2 billion
loss."
If American Express and Visa can mine
transaction data and put a stop order on credit cards when you
unexpectedly buy gas out of state, it seems like there could be
patterns to watch for when the amounts are in the billions, too.
Should anyone quote an intelligence
source by name?
