Well, Mr. Akio Morita - the founder of Sony - wrote that he wanted to name
the company with a variation of Sonus (the latin word for sound) and picked
sonny. Later, he found that the word had an english meaning, so he dropped
one of the 'n's.

"With Masaru Ibuka he co-founded Tokyo Tsushin Kogyo K.K. in 1946, which
changed name to Sony (derived from the Latin word for "sound") in 1958. In
order to enhance international sales, at this time the company took the
unprecedented move to spell its name in Katakana, the alphabet used in Japan
to transliterate foreign words"

Which is not really to odd to see from a company that has close ties to the
Rockefellers. A person of not low stature when it comes to thorough research
data, told me that SONY actually stands for Standard Oil New York. Good old
John moved in on Japan after MacArthur had taken over the country.
The Rockefellers has allegedly funded many interesting activities like an
certain European group some 60 years ago. Looking on the activities of this
company one can see a lot of similarities when it comes to unethical
behavior towards people.
Remember when Orrin Hatch actually pitched for a change of law that would
allow the music industry to _destroy_ computers of _suspected_ music
theives.
They were going to have the right to do it at their own discretion. I guess
it was too much for even the government to swallow.
Criminal thinking is by no means new. It's just sad to see industry leaders
behaving like spoiled brats and getting away with it. Interestingly I've
noticed how all the jakals, attorneys specializing in frivolous class action
lawsuits, are now forming up for the feeding frenzy that will come if they
have anything to do with it.
You know how theives always accuse other people of stealing...
