I get WHY they want it to be tried in California.  It's just a huge stretch of an arguement.

It's also a huge stretch to use the IP numbers in penalty hearings.

I just want to be sure my comprehension is sound, so feel free to correct me.

You're implying, based on this and past posts in the thread, that these reasons are so much of a stretch that the only logical use would be to pursue the individual IPs?

If not, well I kind of agree. I wouldn't call it a stretch, but I wouldn't call it a favorable position either. It's too early to call the case and how this evidence will affect it (even if this succeeds and it moves to CA, a CA judge might find for the defendant).

My stance on this is that this is the legal system and the way it works. Maybe IP laws need retooling, or the legal system does, but I don't anything particularly eggregious here specifically. It is reasonable that a company whose product is being cracked should be able to fight back, and I would see non-pursuance of these IPs as self-handicapping.

You're obviously an educated guy as your command of the english language is pretty high up there relatively speaking. I find your stance remarkably suspicious considering what's at stake here. Yes it is reasonable for a company to fight and defend it's IPs (pun intended) but getting data released on people who have not been tried in court and where there isn't reasonable proof to suspect those people of a wrongdoing is plain bullshit, clear as anything.

I would say that if Microsoft were pulling this sort of stunt, the same people defending Sony here would be on the issue like flies on shit. Nothing wrong with being biased and ignorant but most of you here seem to actually have some level of intelligence and know right from wrong. But you're swallowing your morals for the sake of selfish greed. Your not fanboys, your even worse and to be honest should be ashamed and know better.

It would be quite funny to see a company use these kind of tactics on one of you when you haven't been found guilty of a crime and see your reaction then.

 

Get some bloody empathy! these are normal people who like tinkering with stuff - end of story. It's a disgrace that you people are so against these "hackers". You're siding with a company that is looking out for monetery interests over a person who has been messing around and is being fucked by said company and can't pay the bills to defend himself!!!

 

WAKE UP!
