LOL at the people defending Sony in this.

This course of action they are taking is going to do nothing positive for them.  Absolutely nothing.  It will most likely have an overall negative effect for them as a company.

Anyone remember Metallica trying to take on Napster?


LOL at the anti-gamers finding excuses to bash Sony.  And Napster went from illegit to "what's napster?"  So, bad example.

As will Geohot.  However, Sony is Metallica (or more accurately RIAA) in this case.  This will be a publicity disaster for them.

I am certainly not anti-gamer I don't get how concluded that.  I'm also not pro-corporation.  Consumers have rights.  I suppose you supported Sony installing rootkits on your computer?  I mean, they were just protecting their products, right?

Sony has every right to try to protect their products, but trying to subpoena Google to get the IP addresses of every person who commented on Youtube videos?  Give me a freaking break!


Don't try to come off as being so noble by claiming this "not pro-corporation" act.  I've lurked this site for a while now, and I've noticed that you've always jabbed Sony when you can while defending Microsoft.  If you cannot appreciate the gaming options Sony has provided for the consumers over you having to jab at them, it's obvious what's more important to you than gaming.  And as a consumer, I don't want some "yahoo" screwing with my experience when I'm gaming.  It's simple as that.  Sony isn't perfect, these hackers are not perfect, and the situation is not prefect.  But as a legit consumer, this will serve me in the long run provided that what's right will be made right by quelling the abuse from others.  Stop making excuses.  I'm being realistic in an imperfect world by choosing the less of two evil brought upon by a greater evil.
