If they did they really didn't look at everything before starting did they? No one had Sony knocking at their door for installing Customer Firmware on their PS3. Mr Hotz did for releasing secure information about the PS3 OS and essentially a 'How To' pirate games (or create Homebrew), he is the only person to be 'sued' by Sony. Sony do own the Operating System on the PS3, not us, that's licenced like all software is. I also heard Anon were entering because of OtherOS which was removed because people like Mr Hotz were using it to break PS3's security to allow people to play pirated games (or create Homebrew). Eitherway, Anonymous entered a battle not like their other campaigns. Helping Egyptian and Libyan people communicate, DDoS attacks on people oppressing freedom of speach in the case of WikiLeaks, and most the others were campaigns on the side of 'right', without harming customer's directly (most the websites being DDoS handled it and were back up in a few hours if that). This always seemed more of a case of doing because it harms many of Anonymous themselves and in doing so has harmed everyone who uses a Playstation product and SOE game, blame can be put on them, indirectly or not. |
homebrew and creating homebrew applications has nothing to do with Piracy. I can make a "homebrew" application in Windows Visual Basic or a "homebrew" web application like Farmville.
And Sony can keep their XMB OS. I want to install my own. They do not own my PS3 at all.
