As it is often tricky to gauge what an individual's relationship is with Sony, I thought I would start a thread where users can declare whether or not that have a direct financial interest in Sony.

So would people please hold up their hands if they are:

a) A paid regular employee of Sony or its subsidiaries

b) An individual or company owner paid by Sony to demonstrate Sony Products

c) An individual or company owner paid by Sony to market Sony Products

d) An individual or company owner paid by Sony to teach the use of Sony Products

e) A Sony shareholder

f) A beta-tester (not including unpaid beta-testers) or software developer paid to
contribute to the development of Sony Products

g) An individual who in the past has been in receipt of hardware or software, or gifts or holidays on a complimentary basis.

h) Related or in business with anybody in categories a) to g)

Just for clarity, as far as this thread goes, a 'direct financial interest' does not include the use of Sony products which you have paid for as tools for you business use.

Those of you for whom category a) to g) does not apply may declare "At present I have no direct financial interest in Sony" or a near equivalent.
