1) your assuming sony will ban everyone whos details they obtain 2) it was just an example of another crime situation, when police look for drug dealers they come across innocent people too, they dont lock them up do they? funny how everyone thinks sony will gather 'personal' data and name and shame them on playstation blog or sell it to 3rd party companies. they should have done it undercover like google, screwed up the hackers and then someone would have found out 3 years later when the ps3 would be safe from harm and no-one would be complaining. |
regardless of whether or not sony bans people, it is not legal to collect this kind of information without a warrant/subpoena from a judge (which sony failed to get).
also, google is irrelevant to this case, since it is perfectly legal to hack a ps3, if you paid for it. it is not legal to hack a google if you did not pay for it. this makes it a lot easier for google to discern guilty from innocent.
