It gets worse - they only introduced this EULA after losing their subscriber database on multiple ocassions.
IANAL but apparently also opting out gives you less power in a mass-tort as your class will consist entirely of a contextually miniscule group.
"Sony's EULA, however, eliminates anyone from a potential class except for individuals who specifically opt out. If a person who opted out later chooses to pursue a claim, the class will, at most, consist of those persons who opted out. Nt enough people will opt out. The class is virtually guaranteed to be too small to make it worth any lawyer undertaking representation. So by opting out, you are registering yourself into a group that has no power and no meaning."
