I totally agreee that the victims of the terrible earthquake in Japan are in more immediate need.

If you can afford it, please consider donating a little to both causes. Take into consideration that the current consumer rights issues (including Sony's bullying of homebrew developers AND consumers) will continue to exist long after help has been provided to the people in Japan.


Dude, Fuck Off!

With earthquakes and natural disaster relief needed, I think my money can be spent better elsewhere.

Speaking of which - if you haven't already, then do it now...

*sigh* why do both groups have to make such a fuss in these threads? Please both sides need to stop acting like the other side of these cases are the devil, Sony is a corporation, they want their money, this guy isn't working on piracy, therefore this case should not exist Sony needs to nab the actual pirates -_- but even if the suit is being directed to the wrong people it's just Sony pulling a Dick Cheney, they're aiming for the pirates (quail) and hit the modders (their friend, AKA the guys that they can hire to improve PS3 security)

oh the irony, do you even know how they were able to do all these hacks?

Hmmmm go after the faceless, neamless douchebag pirate and online cheaters who would never be stupid enough to anounce to the world what thier doing, or stop the attention whore douchebags who not only hacked and modded SOFTWARE they DON'T own, but by publishing those hacks allowed the faceless nameless douchebags to pirate games and ruin the online experience for millions of legit consumers...... decisions, decisions

hmmm, are you fimilar with the " kill two birds with one stone" expression?

I'll be sure to send donations when he designs, engineers and produces his own successful console that has the full support of third party developers in addition to AAA first party studio games, and finds the security of his closed gaming platform compromised by consumer rights advocates who make deliberate efforts to crack any security measures implemented and threaten his legitimate business and viability as a secured gaming platform.

Simply put, his efforts do nothing for me as a legitimate consumer of games and there's no reason why I would want to nor should assist in footing the bill for the legal expenses he knowingly brought upon himself with his work.

Precisely. Sony are just trying to protect the ecosystem that they have created, and what they did was perfectly legal, there have terms of use, and what rights they have as platform owner, and they utilised them

I can understand there are some issues with consumer rights, but this is primarily a games machine, and if linux could threaten its profitability as one, then Sony had every right to stop it. As for current issues, they are seperate, and Sony seem to be making progress in dealing with them

Why are the hackers always seen as the good guys?
