You'd be wrong. Which is why basically legal and security experts are all like "Sony is in trouble here." I mean a better arguement would be their EULA, however nobody expects that to reasonably hold up. Companies who lose personal information pretty much always face lawsuits and they always either lose or settle.
The only ones likely to fail are these early ones... since they won't be able to show any harm.
