I find it funny that your name has nicki in, which is also a girls name....did you know that?

see i can be immature and not post productivly, oh wait i have to end with something sarcastic now

cool.

See I cheer on Anonymous, mostly because they are shaking the corporate and government ladders. As the Joker said in Dark Knight... "Introduce a little anarchy. Upset the established order, and everything becomes chaos. I’m an agent of chaos. Oh and you know the thing about chaos, it’s fair."

It's not "fair" when it ruins the fun for the bystander who just wants to be left in peace.

Well done.

You basically show yourself as the typical corporate anus licker that most people here are

Vs

The person that actually gives a damn about the long term rights and privacy laws of the world.

Ignorance beyond all hope. Well done well done.

Except he had a valid point and you're just being silly :)

I think if we take into consideration that they started selling PS3s for $599 losing over $200 on each sale, bad commercials on TV, low sales, extremelly bad ports, having "no games" etc... and we look at the situation today in which they sell PS3s for $299 for a profit, have Kevin Buttler commercials, Higher week on week sales than those of the competence, not as many bad ports (they're still there :P), lots of exclusives, etc... they actually went from Bad to Better.

My knowledge about laws is very basic, I don't know if getting peoples IP addresses or the graf chokolo and geohot stuff are considered an abuse of corporate power, or if there's a penalty for that.... but if it's wrong and there's a penalty (being a fine or whatever), then whatever the penalty for this is must be applied, and the judge that allowed Sony to get the IP adresses should be fired or suspended for not doing his job right.

I don't know if "hacking" the firmware is legal or not... or if it's the same as pirating Windows, but if it's illegal and there's a penalty for that, then it should be applied.

I already heard of the rootkit thing a while back... I don't remember if there was some sort of penalty applied to Sony or not. If there wasn't one, then Sony should have payed for their illegal acts and justice didn't act right. If there was one and whatever the penalty was has already been "payed", then justice acted the right way and I suppose it's a closed case.

Sony doing something illegal doesn't make other people's illegal acts legal or justifies anything.

If someone does something illegal and there's a penalty, justice should determine what to do by the laws and act accordingly, and it should be the same for Sony, George Hotz, Graf Chokolo, you, me, or whoever does something illegal.

I'm not saying Sony/GeoHot/GrafChokolo is right or wrong... I'm just saying that justice will have the ultimate decision on who was right or wrong and must act accordingly and make whoever justice determines was wrong be punished for what they did (be it Sony, GeoHot, GrafChokolo or whoever else is involved).

I believe I can't be any more neutral and objective than this.

Ah, but you're just part of the "message". =)

The message? So basically these guys want to force their will on the uninterested? exactly how does that make them different from those they are accusing?

How are you still a poster? All you do is throw around insults and barely have any arguments worth reading. The original poster made several large mistakes in his argument, instead of pointing our or correcting those mistakes, you decided that insulting the person who took the time to right a decent response, was a much better course of action.

Stop being a child and try and show a little respect for the poster who seems to at least have a vocabulary that breaks out of the vulgar.

Choas is rolling a pair of dice.  Order is rolling a pair of loaded dice.  The later is only going to seem "fair" if you own the dice, and I assure you that you do not.  Sony has done as much or more to ruin the fun of the innocent bystander as Anonymous has.  PSN was innaccessible for a couple days, rootkits posed a threat for months and would have continued to for years or decades if they weren't caught.
