I'm really pissed off. I have 2 friends who downloaded Yakuza 4, and I lost all respect for them. This is all the hackers fault for providing such tools. It is not fair to the devs that created the game, and those who prefer to be legit gamers. I bought my copy fair and square and I want justice!

You are right Geohot and other hackers need to pay for forcing your (ex?)friends to pirate games. If you want justice rat on your (ex?)friends with that stupid anti piracy hotline. If they like the game you may be able to sway them to purchase it new for $40(if they are in the USA).

 

OT: SInce this is a civil case, lets assume Sony proves to the court that geohot profited exclusively due to the hack. I still am not clear how this would effect the case......of course I dont know a thing about the law.

OK, take a closer read at what I posted. No one forced anyone into pirating the game. The fact of the matter is this, if the hack was not published, no pirating would have taken place.

Yeah, if they didn't manufacture the guns, my friends wouldn't have shot people. I blame the guns manufacturers.

your sarcasm is so obvious it is disgusting.

But, if you wish to get technical on this matter so be it. anyone who thinks logically can weigh in the differences of the crime. thank goodness you're not a judge or a lawer..

edit: hackers/pirater, i blame them all

Do as i say. Not as I do.

If you want we can jail hackers/pirates with the same sentences of killers what do you think??? Would it work for you?

And altough i don't like guns, and think USA is almost a joke on the rigth to have one, it's a legal bussiness, so don't compare their liability with a illegal or not regulated one.

Actually what you guys are talking about would be jailing gun manufactures-ie the tool provider. As geohot has still not pirated games nor hacked the PSN like so many of you seem to believe. I guess we should also jail car  makers too. I mean they cause so many accidents. Tobacco farmers also. People who make knives should be jailed. See where I am going? perhaps we should not blame the tools or tool makers, but those who use tools for harm. Like the people who actually pirate or hack the psn none of which geohot is accused of. hmmmm.

 

Edit:

Is sony sueing anybody who has actually pirated sony games/ps3 games or anyone who has hacked onto the psn? Just asking, if so please provide a link.

Yes because the main aim of a car maker is to kill people in accident we must jail them... about tobacco their main aim isn't the death but have a consumer... about weapons i completly oppose guns but they are sold to protection not to kill - manufacturers excuse...

Geohot hacking were distributed to use, for CFW, pirate you name it... but liability can be input if there is forceability of the result...

Gun and Tobacco makers don't get busted all the ways because of Lobbies, and if you want i accept you demand all people holding guns to be jailed, smokers wouldn't make much sense but jail both the user and the company....

You say too much about user's right but now you want to go buyers not against guns, tobacco and car makers?
