All this 'Sony hate' is bullshit. These hackers don't genuinely hate Sony. There's not much to hate them for!

Have you been living under a rock? Sony is particularly keen to pound on the "little guy" (see Lik Sang, George Hotz), they unapologetically infect their own customers' private PCs with malware (see rootkit scandal) and they remove features from their systems without giving anything back.

Most big corporations have skeletons in their closets, but Sony has been reaping particularly bad karma in the recent future.

The 'little guy' is a criminal who was losing these corporations (who employ thousands of people and pay a lot of tax) significant sums. They could have physically beat him for all I care.

The Rootkit scandal was....a scandal I agree. But it happened ages ago. This hacking can't be linked with it I believe.

Any, the other OS removal was completely justified. Also bare in mind that most of the PS community couldn't care less about it - the ones interested in piracy were likely furious.

Piracy is not good, and companies should do their best to stop piracy. When they do this, the hacking world needs to be mature about. 

My opinion is that its 'cool' to hack Sony at the minute.
