Hmm, so a 21 year old takes on a huge corporation for rights that apply to all of us, he holds Sony to basically a stalemate, and then donates any left over money to a good cause, and still the little pissants on here think they are better than him.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but none of you would have the balls to take on a corporation even if you know they are wrong.  You'd just crawl into a corner and wet yourselves.


Sometimes I feel like I'm in the twilight zone with the responses and reactions I have seen to this whole Geohot case. Makes me wonder what people would say if it had been ANY other company. I bet a lot of people would change their tune in a heartbeat.


It's a really interesting case, since I frequent several other sites that feature this whole story, and many show a tremendous amount more support for GeoHotz than here. They are mainly political and technology sites.

yea. I read alot about it on arstechnica. Besides on this site, every site I go to supports geohot or supports neither side. But I always knew this site was very heavily sony influenced (at least the posters).

geez... didn't anyone just checked his site?

As promised, all left over legal defense money, plus a little to bump it to a nice number, has been sent to the EFF. Thank you all so much for your support, without it, things could have been much worse.

Thank you! This was the kind of sensible response that the thread needed, and as suspected, some took a round number WAY out of proportion.

Funny, some of you would push the button if someone in authority told you to and if it were a live experiment, kill them. Does this thread have any relation to that old experiment?

 



Tease.

So do you think this is an effective way to mock Sony, and why do you think this?


I don't care? Yes, I do think he mocked Sony and how they seemingly failed at everything they were trying to do in their case on him(ie Set a legal precedent with him). He's more or less taunting them about the fact that the damage is done 

So Sony failed, but he did not fail to "protect the consumer rights"? I mean what did he claim that he was he fighting for?

he failed too. They both failed. Neither side got what they wanted and we are right where we were before.
