The TOS is not always legally binding, especially in cases of negligence. For example, if Sony did not follow industry practices, then they could be held liable.


Sony fans generally don't care about their personal rights if it costs Sony money, well that's what you'd believe reading some of the threads on here.  Common sense dictates you can't just absolve yourself of all blame in a ToS/EULA, hence why they frequently get challenged.

If Sony is proved to has been negligent with the personal informations of everyone im not sure that there will be that many Sony fans defending them. With the actual situation though, its easy to understand why some defend them. Sony had thousands of hackers on their back and a system that remain unhack for the past 5 years, im not that sure we are talking about negligence. Lets follow the class action lawsuit and we will know for sure. Surely, the ToS cant absolve you of a specific country legislation.
