Love the product, not the company. They love your money, not you.

So since we techinically don't own our PS3s does this mean I get my $900 back that I have spent on the (2) consoles?

If not, then do I at least get back $450 since I own only half of it?

 

 

I also wonder why people think that you do not have the right to do whatever the hell you wish your PS3 whether it be hardware or software.

If they decided that it is perfectly within my rights to do so with my smartphone then what makes my PS3 any different?

 

It voids your warranty and you could be banned from PSN, alright. Don't knock my door in though.

Bet reminder: I bet with Tboned51 that Splatoon won't reach the 1 million shipped mark by the end of 2015. I win if he loses and I lose if I lost.

They are the only company I support and fight against at the same time.

eh, really I couldn't care either way. I expect them to just hack the PSN, drop prices, and maybe block the admins forcing the network division to have to hack their own service to change things back.

It will be an epic knockout punch either way. Just one will be a sucker punch that leads to the knockout, and the other will be a brutal punch straight to the nose with brass knuckles.

i'm quickly learning you are a very very scary person.  the posts i've seen you make lately really scare the hell out of me. 

Don't be scared. It's just the impotent rage of a Paultard with assburgers.

I have Asperger's Syndrome, and I find that offensive...

Just keep referring to my previous responses. I'm not answering the same questions and pointing out flaws in the same points again and again. Sorry, I'm out of here. Please, you take up the mantle of expert if you're so inclined. 


It seems you're the one not listening to opposing view and demand others to listen to your falsified facts.

I don't agree with Sony's actions but Anonymous are nothing more than children .  Sure, they can screw stuff up but they aren't any better than the people they attack.  It's like they try to come off as Batman but they really come off as an eight year old with a cheap cape yelling as loud as he can.


Well. Consider how Sony's stance on trampling consumers' rights and they have the money to sway the court.

I'd say, time to play dirty.

Seems no one like's rights. Maybe we should put all these people preaching against anon into a 3rd world country without rights. Then we well see what happens.

Exactly, Right on target.

Time to bust out some good ol' Abe Lincoln for you guys. 

 

"Those who sacrifice Liberty for Security deserve neither"


Except theres no sacrifice of liberty- I can still hack my ps3 if I want and do with it what I will


If Sony wins then your PS3 modding could be punishable by law.

Are we talking about the Geohotz case? Because they are only going after him for distribution. 


Not true actually.  I'd suggest reading the charges against him.

 

http://www.groklaw.net/pdf2/SonyvHotz-1.pdf


Just read the nature of the action, they are complaining that they created and distrubted the hack. I don't see anything else.

Unlawful circumvention = what every person who uses his hack would be doing.

The two are lumped together, so its unlikely hacking your ps3 would be charged without distribution. And even so, talk about unenforcable. 

So, your resposne to me showing that he was charged with it... is "He was charged with it, but it's the same lawsuit so it doesn't count."

That's like saying is charged with both Murder and attempted murder, if it wasn't for the murder, there is no proof he'd be charged for attempted murder.

Aside from which, all that matters is that they claim it's illegal.

Whether or not they'd ever enforce it or not, I'd look at the RIIA.

They sue individual pirates all the time for piracy, heck even small time pirates.

It's actually easy money for them, and they have the lawyers on retainer anyway.

 

You just sue individuals, and the indivudals can't fight back since they don't have the resources, and basically instantly settle.

And if they don't, the lawyers stretch out the lawsuit until you do settle... because you don't have the money of a huge corporation.

 

I mean, it's not like Sony don't have a record of sueing people who are doing something legal, and crushing them into the ground because they have money and the people they are sueing don't.


I mean, Bleem, Lik-Sang or whatever the importers were. 

I mean, it's basically Sony's hobby.

I can see how people think what geohotz is doing is legal, but Bleem? Those motherfuckers deserved to go down, their entire fucking team forever
