Forums - Sony Discussion - Anonymous targets Sony over SOPA

Get 'em, Anonymous. Strong consumer pressure against GoDaddy got them to stop supporting the bill and to state opposition to it. Any measure short of physical violence should be employed to stop this monstrosity

So playstation.com is loading really slow for me. Anybody else?



Well thank god I got xbox and wii. Seems anonymous has spared us. However this bill is a piece of sh-t and needs to be stopped.



Why is there so much opposition to the SOPA bill? I must admit, I'm not hugely familiar with it?

1. US Copyright holders (i.e. major corporations) are allowed to petition the Justice Department to direct Internet Service Providers (ISPs) to block websites they feel infringe upon their copyright. Not to dismantle the sites themselves, but merely to block them from USA access

2. ISPs will be required by law to do deep packet investigation of all upstream or downstream internet information

3. Any infringing activity will be criminally punishable

Now, not much sounds bad on the surface (though point 2 is worthy of alarm), but this means that websites all the world over are going to have to take strict measures to eliminate all use of non-approved material, or else they will be hunted down and banned from USA access, so even major international sites will have to follow these rules. Like that picture of the Atari 2600 in your avatar there? You take that stolen property of the Atari corporation away you dirty thief, or else VGChartz could be banned from US markets.

Now, this is a valid reason. Please do what you must Anonymous. I just don't want this to affect me.
Anyway did Anonymous not mention EA or Microsoft or Nintendo? They're supporting this too........ and Microsofts support is much more significant than Sonys.

Didn't they say the same thing about Facebook back in November?
(goes and checks.....) yeah, it's still there.


They called that off because they were in the middle of an issue with the cartel having one of their guys.

 

 

As for people wondering why they are attacking Sony this time, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to realize why. Seriously, just look at the names mentioned and then realize that Sony is a big time player in the music industry.

I thought they said it was a rogue member who called for the attack?

Maybe its a rogue member who made this video as well?


That could be as well, but I do know that the cartel kidnapped one of their guys.

 

 

As for the person wondering who Lockheed Martin is, they are one of the US defense contractors. The company I work for works with them, along with Boeing, Grumman, Sykorsky, etc...

I wonder if they know they are just going to fall into a trap? This group has already taken a lot of damage thanks to Sony's attacks on them.

It's great to think that Sony, Nintendo and Microsoft are all on the same team.

Well it's not so great if they are all on the same team for a bad bill.
