From BetaNews.com:

Small French software developer PointDev is suing Sony BMG saying it uses pirated copies of PointDev’s Ideal Migration software.The application manages Windows domain consolidations and provides migration tools to move networks to Windows 2000 and 2003. Sony is being accused of using this software without a license.

Sony’s position smacks of irony, considering that it, along with other record labels have taken a hardline stance against piracy. Its offices were raided in January after PointDev obtained a search warrant from the courts.

In those raids, at least four servers were found with unlicensed copies of Ideal Migration on them. They were seized as evidence, which PointDev has used as a basis for its suit against the company.

“We are not interested in an amicable settlement. It is not just a question of money but more importantly in principle,” CEO Agustoni Paul-Henry said. He also implies that piracy may be a problem overall within the company.
