Given what they've done (if it was them) stupid is the last thing I'd be calling them, seem pretty intelligent to be able to do this to such a big company!!

I have no idea who did this, the likelyhood is it IS them, but the note is no proof, and wouldn't stand up in a court of law.

well obviously they must be able hackers for sure. Not something anyone can do. And by their actions I means being showy, not the hush hush type of individuals. and it's a very spread out group of people. Not everyone will follow a certain rule or anything.

and I don't think Sony brought this up just for the courts. But Anon has in recent times have gone out of their way to threaten Sony, so it might hold more weight than you think. Time will tell tho, either way *%&$^ em hackers. I hate the lot of them

Corporations are run by people.  Corporations hire people.  Those people are consumers.  As business thrives, the people who work for those corporations have a lively hood that allows them to be consumers.  Let's not use your false assumption as an excuse to side against Sony again.

God, you know guys, if you have absolutely no idea what you're talking about and are simply relying on logic to make the points you believe in, please don't bother posting.

This is directed to all those people that think anonymous is an entity. Anonymous IS ANONYMOUS. GET IT? They have no list of members. They have no centralized membership. They have no culpability. Just because someone arbitrarily appointed themselves as "leader of anonymous" it doesn't mean they have any power, nor any leadership or followers. I know for a fact that they don't. And if you don't understand that principle, then please stop making yourselves, and us, look bad.

It's like the privateers of old. They are pirates who act under a code, and have allegiance toward a cause.... but nobody knows what they're doing. They are out and about, and nobody knows who they are.

because "la la la it's all Sony's fault hackers are good" is a much more believeable

That's you and me both man!

I quote galaki when I say "Wait. What? I don't see anyone defending "the hackers". Did I miss something?" 

I always forget to mention the similarity between Anon and Privateers. Glad someone mentioned it.

Well, thank you.

I just want to make it clear. I think Sony fucked up. Not for going after pirates and hackers, but for being complete noobs about it. i've lost a lot of respect for them. (Still, though ps3 has without question the BEST games this gen, save for the DS) 

I just don't understand this whole "Sony is lying" thing. Sony fucks things up enough that we don't need haters coming in and denouncing every little thing. 

Seriously, WHY in the world would Sony lie? The CIA and Homeland Security are investigating the matter. Do you REALLY believe they would lie to congress about something that the guys that found bin laden are investigating??!?!

Seriously>?

OCCAM'S RAZOR, dude. Look it up.

this was a cyber terrorist attack and Anonymous should be prosecuted for that crime and more.

and if they didn't do it then who ever did needs to get a life.
