Sony is a very entertaining company, and as much as I like their products, I hope the pirates and hackers win with every silly move sony makes. 


So you want hackers and pirates to win, ie you want to kill the PS3

Well should have said pirates, not necessarily hackers. I am happy with the ps3 as I ever will be, but yes in terms of corporate moral objectivity, I think sony deserves a lesson, because this really isn't the way to target individuals.

I think Sony was just trying to be aggressive with this move, its unfair and almost ridiculous for everyone to give out their IP address who's just watched a video. For all we know, many innocent people watched it just to see all the fuss.

While i agree that these guys should go down, i disagree with the method. Personal info should not be used like that.

so the judge is protecting hackers and in effect stopping sony from annoying them in their work.

lets say this was to do with drugs, would the judge stop the police from searching for them? NO, so why when it comes to cyber criminals they are given a wall of protection?

the judge should be sued.....if you can do that?

I think you are neglecting the small fact that drug trafficing is illegal while PS3 hacking is not.  Pirating is illegal but pirating and hacking are not even remotley the same thing.

While I support Sonys conquest in burning the hackers and stabbing them with stakes. This is the wrong method. People could have watched those videos just to watch without ever having any intention in actually hacking. There are better methods Sony. Start banning people from PSN, and hey disable their PS3 for kicks. :)


Exactly. I'd watch that video just for curiosity of how that aberration of an act goes.



Nintendo is selling their IPs to Microsoft and this is true because:

How about Sony start putting out PS3 Disc's with nothing on them, that would stop piracy.


Best solution ever!

Well that depend on the country you live in and how much money you have. Apparently US residents with a lot of money can make the law bend to them. That's the best democracy in the world for you. I'm pretty sure they can't obtain people IP here in the EU with those motivations.

The ban is the right answer, legal actions like those are bad for their image.
