Or, because they cannot prove that they themselves are NOT responsible

Guilty until proven innocent.

That's not really what I'm saying. If you're the kid in school who always throws things in class, is anyone going to believe it wasn't you when someone else throws something in class? The fact that they have no credibility, and no means to really defend themselves (because they don't exist) is their issue right now.

My point still stand. By putting blame on a "likely" target without solid proof means you could be letting the real target get away.

How do you feel if you get thrown in jail for rape just because you happen to pass by the scene?


They're more than a likely target though, they're a repeated offender. Also, their "group" has attacked and threatened Sony already, as we all know, which does nothing for their innocence. To use your example: If I was a known rapist and had recently expressed my intention to rape someone, I wouldn't have a leg to stand on if that person was raped. I get what you're saying, an accusation should not preceed the evidence. In this situation though, they've brought it on themselves.

Exactly. They are known to not shy at taken credit for what they did.

Why would they deny credit when they say they are going to hack Sony?

That goes back to my original point, their amorphous nature is their weakness. We've had one group of "anonymous members" confirm the group's involvement, and now we've got another that's denying thier involvement. Members of anonymous were definitely involved, but because the entire group isn't accountable they can confirm/deny whatever they want.

 

To lighten it up a little bit, what if this whole thing was just a huge publicity stunt? What if Sony came out and said "Hey, we actually just needed some PSN downtime to implement X new features and Anon. was a good distraction."

The whole board of directors would be asked to resign since it has affected the stock price of Sony. Further, whoever decided to do this wouldn't have the authority to do so without shareholders consent through a vote.
