I somehow doubt that Anonymous would sport them if Moore hadn't popularized them. Or rather, if the terrible film adaptation hadn't.Snowalker said:
Anonymous Says It's Not Finished With Sony

The Court authorized Sony to subpoena PayPal, Google, BlueHost et al. for the information. That alone doesn't guarantee that Sony would have ever actually laid their greasy mitts on the information. In fact, BlueHost, one of the recipients of those subpoenas, filed their objections with the Court and were taking the position that they didn't have to cough it up and many of the others, e.g., Google, were, at the time the case settled, completely ignoring Sony.Jumplion said:
Anonymouse ain't doing much more than making a tempest in a teacup and a mountain out of a molehill.
This video warms my heart.. That is, all the negative commentary it's getting.
I thought the internet was going down the drain even further with many people supporting 'anonymous'.. But it's not that much after all!
From the comments, which made me laugh:
We are Anonymous.
We are Legion.
We are the biggest twats the world has ever seen.
Amen to that.

You know, its gotten to the point where they seem more like cyber terrorists rather than revolutionaries. What sony did albeit of questionable ethics was still perfectly legal which is more than can be said for anon. What really gets me tho is that they seem to think that they are trying to do a good thing and "freedom of speech" and all that nonsense that they preach. to which I ask then why the hell are you wasting your efforts on a company thats following the rules.
If you really want to prove yourselves take on China, Egypt?, Libya? you know the places that have had trouble with freedom of speech? Why not bring internet to China? My guess? theyre either hiding behind a guise of "free speech"to propel selfish motivations or they really are not as powerful as they claim to be... probably both

I love all the people saying anonymous is not organised or is all talk, well what have they done in the last year
The mastercard fiasco
Got the chairman of the HBGary fired
DDOS'd quite a few websites resulting in loss of time, information and money
Been aired on TV against the westboro baptist church and hacked their site
Increased freedom of speech by allowing wikileaks to publish more content (e.g. Zimbabwe)
Those are the ones I can think of the top of my head in the last year, there are more. To say they do nothing now is just plain ignorant
Just because something is lawful doesn't make it good, slavery used to be legal does that make it good?

These technology and copyright laws are fairly new with grey areas and uncertainty, these new laws are likely to be changed and if it can force a company to give up information then it wouldn't surprise me if it will changecreager91 said:

What Anonymouse should do is get one of those robo-dialers that the political candidates use, call each and every Sony store and office worldwide, and leave a voice-mail playing "Chocolate Rain." That'll teach Sony!
Chocolate Rain
Some stay dry and others feel the pain
Chocolate Rain
A baby born will die before the sin
*I move away from the mic to breathe in*
Chocolate Rain
The school books say it can't be here again
Chocolate Rain
The prisons make you wonder where it went
etc., etc., etc., ad nauseam

I wonder if they realise most people have turned on them by now, they look like a bunch of whiny pricks.
I don't mind what Sony did because they were only trying to protect their business, if you ran a local shop and a thief showed a group of people a way to enter your store and take things without your consent you'd definitely get a copy of the CCTV footage in order to capture and hopefully prevent people from stealing off of you, this is no different and the only reason they're going batshit over it is because it's a bigger business and it involves more people.
I doubt Sony will attempt to screw over innocent people if they pursue the people that accessed the website, that would make them look bad and bad publicity = loss of cashflow.

I don't really agree with what Sony did but i really don't like Geohot or what he did and this whole issue si I really don't care. A lot of my childhood was spent playing Sony products and this issue has not affected me at all. I don't care about hacking or Linux or any of that.
To me it seems like Anonymous are becoming a bit too arrogant and righteorous. I'm becoming more convinced it's just a bunch of little kids who dress up in a V outfit and pretend to be some kind of brave revolutionists fighting in the name of the weak.

I still think it's a load of bullshit that Anon is against Sony's "invasion of privacy" when they've been leaking the personal contact info of countless of people they don't like to the internet for the world to harass and terrorize them. For years! It's not like Anon cares about double-standards or integrity though.ChupathingyX said:
Either way, I was hoping this entire GeoHot/Sony mess would be done and over with. But jesus christ not this shit AGAIN. At this point, Anon is starting to sound a lot like PETA.
I am glad stuff like this is happening, I just hope it does not devolve into mindless one upmanship between sony and the internet, otherwise we all lose!
Has Anonymous accomplished anything worthwhile? All this "news" talking about their digital take-down lists is getting really boring.
As far as I can see, they have not had any lasting effect, and the most effect they had on people like the general public was temporarily taking down the servers of a website or two.
Correct me if I'm wrong, naturally. It's just what I see.
