so the judge is protecting hackers and in effect stopping sony from annoying them in their work.

lets say this was to do with drugs, would the judge stop the police from searching for them? NO, so why when it comes to cyber criminals they are given a wall of protection?

the judge should be sued.....if you can do that?

I think you are neglecting the small fact that drug trafficing is illegal while PS3 hacking is not.  Pirating is illegal but pirating and hacking are not even remotley the same thing.

Well that depend on the country you live in and how much money you have. Apparently US residents with a lot of money can make the law bend to them. That's the best democracy in the world for you. I'm pretty sure they can't obtain people IP here in the EU with those motivations.

The ban is the right answer, legal actions like those are bad for their image.
