I agree but they didn't have to publicaly post Credit card and Personal information to prove it.Saviordd1 said:Honestly I'm rooting for lulzsec. They are willing to show these people how poorly these companies defend themselves, which is needed.
I'm not if they got the wrong person, which Lulz boat claim they got the wrong person. It's possible one person leached his internet connection to do the hacks.CM156 said:Anyone else hoping this person gets the book thrown at them? Amongst other things?
Ah, well, I hope they catch the rest of these assholes and make them suffer.
I think anyone affected by this should get to vote for their punishment. I choose hanging!
No, I really think it's the opposite, if they show the hackers that they aren't untouchable, and that if they mess with large companies shit WILL go down and they WILL be found, then hackers will stop attacking them. It's like the school bully, if you try to ignore the problem it won't go away, but if you fight back you have a chance of getting the guy to stop beating you up because the risk isn't worth it.GonzoGamer said:Really?

Really, the best thing Sony can do is stay out of it and let law enforcement do it?s job.
One of the reasons hackers keep targeting Sony is because Sony keeps targeting hackers. If they start leveling more lawsuits and threats at these bozos, it?s just going to make their problems worse.
Actually you own the product but not the services, and its basically the same with all modern consoles that connect online.Atmos Duality said:For now, I'll simply state that I disagree with it being completely justified. The current lack of definitive legal boundaries/rights is almost universally one-sided against the customer.Jeffrey Rodriguez said:I'm not going to get into a whole argument about the whole removal of Other OS, that's not what this thread is about anyways. Though if people where using it to cheat and pirate I say they where somewhat in the right to remove the function anyways. This is about the illegal actions of some hackers, and no matter what Sony may have done no illegal action against them, especially one that hurts so many third party people, is justified.
There needs to be legal control and provision yes, but it shouldn't be so loose as to legally permit Sony to virtually own products you bought from them, regardless of how they are used.
Not really, I can't actually remember seeing/hearing/reading that PS3 could run OS, I think it maybe on small print on the box but nothing massive. Then they thought "that could ruin PSN better get rid of it" then they pulled it. They sued Geohotz for releasing the information to the net on how to hack the PS3, not for hacking the PS3.DeadSp8s said:Why? Cause you couldn't play Socom for a couple days?Awexsome said:Totally. They deserve every minute of jailtime they get over it.DeadSp8s said:you wanna watch the FBI and Sony ream guys in the ass?
Didn't Sony sell PS3 touting their capability to run multiple operating systems (i.e. Linux) and then go back on that by removing functions and punishing it's users until they updated their PS3's to remove the capability to run other OS's?
Sounds like Sony should be punished....oh wait
Yes I doDeadSp8s said:you wanna watch the FBI and Sony ream guys in the ass?
Good juxtaposition but I think in this case, the hackers probably think Sony is the bully which is why they keep hitting back whenever sony does something like take away a function of the ps3 or sue some hacker that decided to crack the console.Dirty Hipsters said:No, I really think it's the opposite, if they show the hackers that they aren't untouchable, and that if they mess with large companies shit WILL go down and they WILL be found, then hackers will stop attacking them.

Wait, what? 1) FBI only has jurisdiction on US soil. 2) These guys are a threat. They have proven that they're thieves willing to steal our money and information. Also, they're attacking our very means of doing business; this is especially painful during a recession like we're having. They could potentially cripple e-commerce with their antics. 3) Who gives a fuck about Al Qaeda? Are they a threat? Yes. Wanna know who is a 1000x bigger threat? North Korea. And guess what... no one will do anything about them either. Wanna know who else is a threat? Other terrorist groups you've never heard of. Al Qaeda? Who cares?Spartan448 said:For once, the FBI does something... WHEN IT IS NOT AT ALL A THREAT TO NATIONAL SECURITY. STOP focusing on petty hackers who spend their time hacking SONY of all companies, and START actually LOOKING for AL QUEIDA, who want to KILL US.
