I have to admit, I love watching fights between hackers and companies.

I don't take sides - I admit that some hackers want to bring in cool new features that don't harm Sony, and that some want to pirate games - I'll defend the first whilst simultaneously defending Sony's right to stop the later.

I think I like it cos it's either a david and goliath story, as in this case where the few take on the many (and usually win) or if enough people get behind it, it's an allegory for socialist revolution - power to the people and the means of production being transfered from the bourgeoisie to the proletariat.

Ubisoft's removal of DRM just recently in some games is equivalent to the Czar's elimination of serfdom. The new DRM they then introduced is analogous to the Czar's fatal decision to take back those newly granted rights. Ubisoft shall certainly be first against the wall.

Youre talking about a legal business who employs and is responsible for legally supplying peoples homes with food, peoples families with shelter through a paycheck with serfdom?

Seriously, is your mind that detached from reality where you think simply because someone takes on a company its all of a sudden David vs. Goliath? Do you not understand David vs. Goliath is a tale about achieving a noble cause, its not what youre making it out ot be....and the situation sure as fuck isnt anything close to an allegory to the bourgoisie or whatever. Wow, just wow.

 

The story of David and Goliath

Two armies, philistines and Isralites are about to enter combat

In order to save the lives of many of his warriors, Goliath offers to replace the battle with a duel, with the army of the loser of the duel being honourbound to withdraw(in safety). Fairly common practice in those days.

No Israilite is brave enough to face him, save David

David kills him, cuts off his head

The philistine army flees, and the Israilites pursue, very much in breech of contract, with intent to kill the philistines as they flee

 

Nothing noble here, just warfare.
