Wow... you didn't even bother to come up with a remotely analgous situation.

 

Say you like to make your money by digging through the trash and blackmailing people or stealing their identity.

Who you pick is really very random, sometimes richer people, sometimes poorer, and whether or not you score is based on if they shred their mail with identificiation.

Lets say it's a well known fact that these people tend to believe in little league.  (Like how most hackers likely know more about technology and therefore are pro-modding.)

You Bud Selig knowing full well you don't shred your paper, and that people like that are big trouble thing "Hey I'm going to start a big lawsuit vs a little league league in a poor neighberhood because one of their teams are the mariniers!"

Yeah... i'd say you should TOTALLY see that coming.  Since you are basically picking your targets at random before then... why wouldn't you start with people you don't like first.

 

You don't think liberal hackers target consvertive buisnesses first and conservative hackers target your liberal companies first?

Common sense.

I mean... why else does basically EVERY other technology company try to at least accomadate hackers a little?

You don't see Nintendo or Microsoft sueing the people who hacked the Wii or 360.

um what you posted has less to do with what i was originally reffering to than my last post, that is, how sony or any entity can be aware of whatever actions may offend another entity and what the offended entity may do to get back. I likened this to instead of hacking the skill in question being carpentry, furthermore i said let the assuption be made that like with the geohot case that the carpenter is a friend of the offended person ( not to say that the hackers are friends with geohot but that they view him favourably in this context ). I never went into sony's security methods or whatever because obviously thats irrelevant because regardless at this point we know ( or at least its been speculated ) that they were inadequate.

Your analogy is dumb because carpenters don't go around disassembling houses left and right for lulz. Meanwhile that's what hackers do and therefore need a lot less provocation. Furthermore hacking isn't a job, it's a hobby.
