| Izo said: Lets talk strictly game theft then. Lets say Sony makes a perfect PSN that completely stops online cheating. They still lose millions in software theft that they could've used to bring us more content so it still effects the majority. This is where is stops. Being reasonable. Sony can defend themselves in the relm of reason. When they do something that stomps your rights come back and bring this point up. They protected themselves they have that RIGHT. Who has the right to set the bar? This was a clear cut and dry problem the OtherOS was going to cause problems. Its not about who sets the bar anyone could have seen this threat. Your allowed to protect yourself within the relm of reason The car thing is funny. Modding console directly led to the breaking in and then pirating of software. Sony doesnt tell you how to use anything. So thats moot. Again it stops in the relm of reason. It comes down to this. It doesn't matter who gets burned in the process as long as 1 underused feature stays. |
Yes, you find that by teading over personal property rights, ANYONE can make more money, not just Sony. The right question is, what right do they have to do this in the first place? Nintendo and Microsoft both abide by personal property laws, why can't Sony? Are you really that much of a fanboy to say that Sony deserves a legal upper hand in making a profit? This is supposed to be a level playing field here. What you're defending is corporate cherrypicking.
Okay. Define "being reasonable". Would you sacrifice BluRay playback if Sony said the next day that they have to remove it, as hackers found a way around that? What if they disabled your USB ports?
They don't tell you how to use anything, but they give you a path in which you lose either way. In the car scenario, that's like giving them the option to drive however you like, but doing so means the transmission no longer works. Yeah....you're free to choose. Sony is giving you what I call a "childish hypothetical".
"Would you prefer to have your teeth smashed in with a hammer or get rusty nails stuck in your hands or feet?"
Hurry up and make a decision, already! You're free to choose, after all...
