What about the freedom of game makers to earn money from their hard work? Does anyone ever consider that? The excuse "I was never gonna buy it anyway" doesn't make ANY sense. they give you a game, you pay money for it, that's how these things work. Sony aren't monsters for wanting you to pay for the games you play, people are just being cheapskates.

No one is preventing them from making money. If you are refering to piracy the case has nothing to do with that. I explained exerything in the comment before. I am against piracy but i am for freedom to do what i want with something i paid for with my hard earned money.

Stop presuming. I know about the lawsuit. It's hard to have missed it over the last few months.

My freedom to play with my PS3 in the way I want, on the PSN as well, is far more important to me that some hacker's rights to do what they want with their PS3. I don't give a flying what these hackers do with their PS3s, I do however care if they affect me and the only way they can at this time affect me is taking down a service I use.

EDIT: You asked more questions, in reply to that I do know about the possible outcomes of the case. In my opinion the later you mention will not occur but this is probably a misinformed opinion.

Well believe what you want. I agree Psn is more important than freedom :)

It is in my freedom to believe what I want, so I will. Although, I don't know why you are agreeing to something I didn't say. My freedom to use PSN, a service giving to me and millions of others for free by Sony, should not be interupted by a bunch of hackers to make a point that they should be allowed to do what they want with their physical PS3 machines.

If PSN goes down, who do you think I'll blame? Sony for protecting their's or other games company's product rights or Anonymous for hacking Sony's servers?



Hmm, pie.

I hope these people get caught and go to jail. I for one don't agree with any of this. If there for consumer rights,then why take away my right to enjoy everything sony? This proves to me,that there nothing more than thugs.

Good for them, they took down some websites. What about the PSN? Which I presume do not run on the same servers as a couple of websites. 

Anonymous had a nice idea with the Wikileaks thing, supporting Freedom of Speech, this just seems more like supporting hacking and piracy.

Its not about piracy. I believe you are misinformed. Its because Sony is sueing Geohotz and making it seem like Geohotz is responsible for piracy when he had nothing to do with it. I suggest you do research on the situation.

Really?

What he did eventually led to MORE piracy but he did not hack the PS3 for people to play pirated games. Someone else used the code and made back up launchers for pirated games. The lawyers want to make it seem like its his fault when in reality there were pirates on the PS3 long before he hacked it.


That's not "having nothing to do with it."

Yes it is.

You don't charge gun manufacturers with crimes when people are shot.

Well, duh?  I mean if PSN is down, and Sony's websites are down, how would the donation abilities still be up?

That's your average fox news type reporting there, acting like they intentionally went out of their way to block it.

Then believe whatever the hell you want. The reality of the situation wont change.
