This isn't a Civil War, this isn't even a national crisis, this is a bunch of hackers getting pissed off because they can't get what they want. Consumers are happy with what they've got and now the 'freedom fighters' have come along to ruin the services we already have and like. You do not get to choose what the rights of millions of people are. You do not have the right to fight for my rights. You do not have the right to fight for your rights and act as if your special, knowing that it'll hurt the rights of millions to feel safe and use a good service that they agreed to. You do have the right to hack your console, but you don't have the right to go on Sonys PSN services or buy any of Sonys games. You do not have the right to pick and choose between what is right and wrong. Hackers do not make laws, they are meant to follow them. You do not have the right to take advantage of the innocent bystanders of this situation, which includes developers, other publishers and consumers. You do not represent me, you do not represent the majority, you do not represent freedom.
We are Consumers. We were happy. We do not forget We do not put up with needless bullshit. Piss off. |
Again, change can only happen when people are willing to stand and fight for what they want. Whether its through the legal system like the class-action suit against Sony, GeoHotz's legal battle against Sony, or a cyber war.
You might not see the benefit, you might not think temporary interferance with what you want to do is right, but in the end things will become what it should because people are willing to stand and fight the only ways they know how to. Some take the "legal" means, others take the extreme route. Both can be effective.
It is very obvious that the general consumer like you will be pissed. Its natural, but you would also be pissed if the government or your ISP limited your access to the internet tomorrow. Or if the price of gas doubles because a foreign government refuses to ship oil to the states. Some would just be pissed but deal with it like the nice good little sheeple they are, others will try stand up to the change and fight it. Each market has is segmented into sheeple, extreme, and political mindsets. Sheeple takes up the majority, but the others are the ones willing to fight unjust change and the sheeple tells the ones fighting to shut up and mind their business when realistically they are ignoring what is happening and are to scared or ignorant to do anything.
So please, continue to bitch, complain, and yell that a small group is willing to fight for their rights. We will fight for our freedom of property rights similar to how the African American's fought for their civil rights. By voicing our opinions, battling the ones that hate us, and winning the battle for what is right for everyone no matter what anyone thinks.
