Once again, say some stupid conclusion on a forum, you'd better be prepared to stand up for your argument. Your defense of "Whatevah. I do wha I want!" is not gaining you any credibility on your stance.

Oh, and begging? Quite a play on words there, don't you think? "Pleeeease don't buy Sony products. I beg you!" Getting a bit dramatic, aren't we?

You want your rights to speak freely, then respect other's rights to do the same, whether it be rapping or requesting assistance.

I don't really have an argument. I'm not arguing anything. You're the one arguing because of your attachment to him.

I'm having fun, mocking someone who I dislike. I'm allowed to do this on this website. The owner of this Website allows me to do it. The person who made VGChartz, lets me mock George Hotz. And I love it.

Stop being so defensive over some guy you have probably never met. Let your hair down. Chill out. Stop making this into something it isn't. You're starting to ruin my fun.

 

The world is not black and white. As you can see, I've taken a neutral stance on this thread. My response isn't to the anti-Geohot stance. My response is to immediate jumping to conclusion stance.

Yes, you are allowed to do that on this website, just as I am allowed to shoot your argument dead in it's tracks. You have your fun, I have mine. Everyone is happy.

Oh, I LOVE the irony of this post!

You talk about your rights to wander on here and say what you like, but watch out if George Hotz exercises his right to free speech too.

And you're calling HIM the attention seeking crybaby? HAH!

Okay.

I can't say whatever I like. There are the forum rules, you know.

Big difference too - I'm not crying, and I'm not begging for money to fight a mega evil company. Or begging people to never buy said companies products. Or rapping.

 

Once again, say some stupid conclusion on a forum, you'd better be prepared to stand up for your argument...


"And please expound on another probable reason."


What? Didn't you see the two that I already made?

Geohot asked for donations to fund his lawsuit.  Otherwise, he would not have been able to continue.  But he didn't continue when he has the funds because it was a loosing battle.  He caved in to Sony's demands because he didn't have a leg to stand on.  Otherwise, he would have continued to fight to win the lawsuit.  You got my point, and you know it.  Please don't deny yourself.  I will proudly charge you as an FIF member to reasonably and logically think for yourself and don't pick side because you have a bias against a company.


Ok ok. 

1. I don't see what this has to do with the topic at hand 

2. Neither side won. And if you think one did you are sadly mistaken. This case was to set future legal precedence in case something like this happened again. If Sony won they could easily bring it up to anyone who dared hack the PS3 again and bury them easily. If Geohot won a hacker could bring it up(then be buried in legal bills by Sony and lose) and potentially win

3. Sony spent at least a million(probably more in the two range) to take on Geohot. And you think they won with an order for him to stop hacking Sony products? 

4. Geohot chickened out and looked like a tool to the people that were watching 

Neither side won. 

 

With all due respect.  I thought you were made of tougher stuff.  I was wrong.

That's the damn point. He could be just as guilty as not guilty, so nobody should be taking a side on this issue!

Yes, it was in Sony's best interest to waste millions suing a kid that didn't even hack it in the first place. Not to mention that your argument is double sided. If Sony's case was so strong then why they give it up, huh? As well as dropping the ones on Graf_Chokolo and company... Sony wanted ot leave this whole mess behind them as fast as they could. It's bad press going after kids. 



Sig thanks to Saber! :D

He's raised more than $10,000 in just one day... after that people donated more and more, even Microsfot donated for his cause.

As all that money left only 10k? I don't know.
