Like these big websites are specifically targeting California, though. Again, vengeful anti-consumer opportunism with no real basis except that that's where they want the case to take place. There's an equal chance of it occurring in any state in the Union, and quite a few out of it, if they're going on that flimsy of an argument.

while I agree that they are doing it to get the best case in the region with the best chance to win, there is nothing wrong with that and companies AND people do it all the time.

They are just seeing in the offhand chance that they could get it to take place in california, they have every right to do so. Like I said before, this has nothing to do with the people who watched the vido, or downloaded the hack or anything. This is simply a jurisdictional thing.

Either way, it doesn't look good on them, that they violate consumer privacy in order to jockey for a better chance to damage consumer rights just so they can fight a threat by attacking non-consumers...

I blame myself for not being able to explain to you properly.

They just want to know where the people are so that they can establish jurisdiction and prove that he distributed, that is all. There is no breach in consumer anything.

Additionally, I find it humorous that you think sony is going to potentially attack people for potential hacking. You think Sony is going to blame people for things they haven't done, yet you're blaming sony for what they haven't done. This is complete madness.

I'm interpreting Sony's every act as anti-consumer to the extreme hilt here. They've acted in bad faith in the past and continue to do so, and i'm just mad that they're being allowed to get away with it, hence my wish for them to get their ass handed to them with extreme prejudice. I understand where your argument is coming from, it's interpreting their stance more neutrally than mine, but it seems to me that if all Sony were doing were trying to establish jurisdiction (which they shouldn't be worrying about if they were actually confident in their own case), they wouldn't need to put themselves in this damaging position of looking like the bad guy by poking into other companies' information, all to do something that they really probably don't have a right to do in the first place

I'm not ignorant of the meaning of your explanation, just stupidly angry on my part:P
