Forums - Sony Discussion - Pay No Attention to "Anonymous"

Kantor on 07 April 2011

The removal of backwards compatibility was fine, because it originated from a new model of PS3. Nobody bought a PS3 which boasted the feature of backwards compatibility, only to be disappointed when that feature was forcibly removed.

Similarly, the Slim launching without OtherOS was fine, but it is immoral, and further, illegal, to forcibly remove a feature from your product, especcially when the removal of such a feature can cause loss of data.

That is, of course, a separate court case. I fully believe that Sony should restore OtherOS functionality, but they are correct to be suing Geohot. DDoSing is also a rubbish way of solving anything.

Of Course That's Just My Opinion, I Could Be Wrong

@Ajescent - If you could stop blatherign about inane bullshit for liek two minutes and actually read what others are writing you might be able to get it through your extremely thick skull that the biggest issue here is that Sony has gotten people's IP addresses for merely watching a youtube video, and not everybody who watched that video had the intention of replicating the process.  There is nothing they can do with that information that is at all legal, other than posses it, and I can assure you they didn't pay a lawyer to go get a list of numbers that are in and of themselves useless.  So, you see, what anonymous is attacking them for is the fact that they are clearly about to do something nefarious themselves.  I really don't get this logic that it's okay to break the law just because someone else might have.  And hacking your console has already been held in court as legal, BTW.  What Sony is suing Geohot for is breach of contract, which con only apply if it's proven as a certainty that he had a PSN account.


And clearly you missed my point as well.

My point is if everyone had stuck to the original agreement and not had ideas above their station, we wouldn't be in this mess in the first. Sony would not have had grounds to collect IPs of anybody and psn would be just as "crappy" as it's always been without help from Anon.

People always seem to forget what the cause was, never the effect.

I hear you man, agree with everything you said earlier too , if only people just left it alone and used it as it was intented...to play ps3 games, why do people have to mod/change it? if you dont like the way it runs/operates then don't buy it.  or buy an alternative product such as the 360 or the wii, or wait till something new comes a long

Their station?  Are you from the ****ing middle ages?  Get with modernity here, Sony is not your king, and you don't have to bow down to them.  Feel free to respect them, but quit worshiping them.



You do not have the right to never be offended.

But if you don't like the system and/or the company why buy the product and modify it? Buy something better, this you didn't adressed... and you know GH and the judge also had those data, and if Sony ever used those to things didn't adressed on the subpoena - agreed by the lawyers of the other side and the judge - they would be in real bad situation.

And still today Kings still exist, England if i'm not wrong have royal family doesn't them? And a lot of other european countries as Luxemburg, Holland, etc...
