Oh,  I just chalked that up to them being immature.  Since as you said no one won


yes, I'll agree it's certainly immature, but he is mocking them regardless.

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?


What does thi shave to do with what I said?? I said he released this to taunt Sony. Then I went on to say how he taunted Sony. If you read the thread you would of seen me say nobody won. But I guess then you couldn't misquote me like this 

How exactly is he taunting Sony? If anything he's trying to regain some respect from all those who paid good money just to see him settle with Sony instead of fighting for theri "rights".

And we simpy have to agree to disagree on who won. I think Sony won, as they made clear that they won't tolerate piracy and will hunt down anyone who messes with their software. There is a reason Anonymous remains anonymous.

You should simply take a look on threads where most users were 100% sure that the case would be dismissed.

1. Read my post directed at Vetteman. 

2. They dropped the charges on everyone they had "hunted down". Yeah, mission accomplished Sony, you showed them! >_>

Sadly, reasoning have escaped some.  I've tried, but some will continue to obsess spite for a company over the love and reasoning of playing videogames.

Your entire argument this entire thread has been "nu-uh, because I say so" the one time I ask for proof you leave to never return...

Hey guys, it's cool if you don't care about looking educated and all, but if you are all going to complain about the same thing then someone is going to bring up the fact that the maximum you can send over Paypal at one time is $10,000. 


Haha don't spoil the fun.  Aside from which, it's not like the guy is poor.

He just didn't want to become poor fighting a legal battle.

Dude is a highly respected programmer who's won a bunch of awards, and worked commercially on stuff.

As long as you'll look to your opinion that Sony lost as a fact (which they didn't), you'll never see the truth.

You know what... I'm going to try your tactic...

How didn't they?

Then why don't you do the whole world a favor if you are right.  You hack the PS3, publicly share your findings, and reveal who you are so there's not doubt whatsoever.  And then let's see what Sony can and will do do legally to protect their IP. Are you up for it? If not, do you encourage anyone to do it? Why or why not?

Apparently Sony won't do much too you besides a slap on the wrist. The geohot case shows this. 

 

And I don't see how that shows Sony won at all... Unless you are going somewhere with this, proceed. I am intrigued
