WOW Sony website is the only place I can go to donate money to tsunami victims. get the hell out of here with that retardedness.

The point is still there in another form if you read on. Plus, you have to take into consideration that even on this board people who donated through PSN donated the couple bucks they had left on there account. Also, while there are many ways to donate to Japan not many people are going to just google it up and send money to just any company or website they see. PSN is one of those companies that the people who own Sony systems would most likly trust to see the money goes where it is needed. Not to mention it doesnt involve giving another company your infomation.

This post is just reeking of false facts, the point was that they were directly targeting anon as purposely hurting tsunami relief efforts which is just ludicrous. From the information I have gathered Anon is more then justified with whatever actions beyond acts of violence.

Prove anything I said wrong?

I'm not going to get into anything specific other then to say that there are dozen of proven relief organizations over a video game giant, that 90% of Americans would much rather trust, especially when some those orginizations are matching every dollar donated.


Back on topic, if you guys would actually research the matter as to why these retaliation attacks are happening instead of blindly following Sony you can see that what Sony did was 100% wrong, but I'll post part of it again for your benefit.

"Although Hotz denies that his activity in jailbreaking PlayStation 3 firmware violates the DMCA, Sony was awarded a temporary restraining order. Since then, Hotz and Sony have been battling it out in court to determine if the U.S. District Court of Northern California, where Sony wants to try the case, has jurisdiction over Hotz, who resides in New Jersey.

But it goes beyond that. Subsequent to the temporary restraining order, Sony has requested and received access to Hotz's social media accounts, as well the IP addresses of those who accessed his personal Web site. Last month, Sony also gained access to his PayPal account to find out if anyone from Northern California donated money to help him in his alleged hacking efforts."

But that does not prove anything I said as wrong, which is my only problem with what you posted after quoting me. There are things to consider in any given situation and while I can agree there are plenty of legit places to donate money and it far from put some huge dent in relief funds, but it did in fact disrupt it. Plenty of people have donated through PSN because they trust it just the same as I trusted my college fundrasier board.
