I had no idea of the civil law you posted, but its still irrelavent based on the criteria anyway. The fact of the matter remains, hackers gained access to the PSN. This community is so warped that rather than be disgusted with the hackers we follow allegience to branded videogame consoles. Yeah im pissed it happened, im pissed Sony had to take down the PSN and force me to not watch hulu or netflix or play online but im intelligent enough to understand the real criminals are the hackers. This isnt negligence because if it were then this would have happened much sooner. What solution do i want? I want Sony to make sure it doesnt happen again. Thats what theyre doing. Im not looking for a free handout for a service thats free being comprimised by hackers and blaming Sony because its easier. I get how its easy to blame the big corperations but its childish and a never ending circle. The hackers are to blame, Sony is trying to make improvements. As an adult, mature consumer im angry about the situation and i blame the hackers and im glad Sony is working to make sure it doesnt happen again. |
Find me a single person that's absolving the hackers of blame. You won't be able to. But while you're upset that you can't play videogames online for a week, millions of others are pissed off that they entrusted their personal information, including credit card info, to Sony, only to see it lost due to what is apparently gross negligence. They're equally upset that they were not told about a very real threat to their finances for over a week, for reasons that are currently unknown.
In essence, you're upset because your friend can't come out to play for a week, while others are pissed off that they entrusted your friend with their credit card and personal info, only to have him leave his front door wide open for whomever to waltz in and help themselves. It doesn't help that this happened over a week ago, with nary a word from said friend.
As someone who recently has only posted in threads about Sony and their security situation, and only in Sony's defense, you probably feel differently than most people do. That's fine, I guess. But the affected folks have a right to be upset. Or perhaps you'd like to tell them otherwise, and that their being angry at the loss of their private info is "warped"?
