Well I gotta say that was fast. My only thing I can't stand about the whole thing is both parties are to blame for the coming piracy. It will be a sad day, when games are going to die out due to mass piracy. It's what's killing the music industry. |
How? you do realize that the self righteous mindset has nothing to do with Sony?
So if a child in my neighborhood almost gets hit by a speeding car, and the city lowers the speed limit and puts in speed bumps, if i speed and get pulled over, its teh citys fault for protecting innocent citizens from reckless people?
I fail to see how Sony can be blamed for some kids inferiority complex.

The issue, is if you try to stop hackers they will rally together. This is common knowledge, Sony SHOULD have found a better way of dealing with this. Out of court settlement with Geohot would have been the best course of action imo.
I mean a certain metal band destroyed themselves trying to stop downloading.

Im not reacting to the hacking community or even GeoHotz response. Im reacting to the community here who seems to think that GeoHotz response is OKAY or NOBLE, we all knew it would happen or he would respond this way, no ones denying this isnt surprising or expected, we are responding to people HERE defending the response.

I personally think what did Geohot is wrong. Sony went about the wrong way to stop it, for instance if someone pushes you in the street and talks crap. You could either do your best to stop the situation, or starting swinging then have his friends jump around the corner and knock your lights out. There was a better way to deal with this.

The difference is GeoHot pushed first with the info posted, which has been posted in this thread multiple times. People seem to forget that.
I dont know what a better solution would be, to be honest. Id be curious what people feel should have happened since he admitted it was possible to hack and put malicious things through the network, what should have been done? nothing?
