I'm so over hackers...............

God that's fine if you've got beef with Sony but take it out on them, all these attacks are hurting us as consumers.  Why can't we just play our games in peace.


Why can't some people just use their ps3 as they please? Why must sony go on a rampage and take people to court? They just want to use their equiptement as they please, I mean they did buy it.

They took one person to court for releasing their trade secrets to the whole world, which could have financially devastating effects on their business.  It's not crazy, absurd or in any way outlandish.  It's smart business by Sony as they have plenty of attorneys sitting around on payroll. 

They didn't hurt this poor wittle guy.  They got him away from their products (And he signed off on it).

Did you miss the not trade secrets... and not allowed to take him to court for it post?

Odd, he did get taken to court and agreed to a deal that sounds awfully similar to a non-disclosure contract that an employee would have to sign.  

Oh right, it's not a trade secret because you said so.  Gotcha.  ;)


No... it's not a trade secret because the law says so.

And again, people generally settle when facing a multimillion dollar coperation because said multi-million dollar corporation just tends to extend the shit out of lawsuits until the person they are sueing is bankrupt and has to give up anyway since lawyers aren't guranteed in civil trials.

It's basically the largest failing of our justice system.  Big companys can fuck over little guys and small buisnesses just by tying things up legistlativly.
