Is anyone really surprised? He's obviously not liked on most gaming industry or in the forums (especially VGChartz, a site that's dedicated to sales). BUT in the world of pirates, he's considered a hero.

Again: he's also legally in the right, here. It's one thing to be a pirate, it's another thing to be someone who wants to take the piss out of Sony, it's quite another to be someone who wants the law to be upheld instead of corporations being able to bully people down.

Did I say if I think he's right or wrong? I was merely pointing out that it's in no way surprising that he raised the money he was asking for. 

Listen you can half-talk with a lot of people but I am not the one.

The simple fact that the ony source of support for him that you cited was the "world of pirates" necessarily phrases and frames his actions as those of a man who is himself a pirate, of which there is absolutely no proof, nor any proof that he intended to enable piracy.

If you didn't mean to communicate that then watch your words more carefully, but I think you're too smart to have been that careless in this context.
