Anonymous attacks Sony PlayStation website in support of GeoHot

[Guest]

the things you mention are not "free", they are paid for by governments, taxes, businesses and such. Just because YOU didn't pay for it, doesn't mean that someone else isn't.

I never used to think Anonymous were pathetic 'til I read that image. It's all good for the first two paragraphs, then it all goes wrong. Expect us? You will now experience the wrath of Anonymous? Who do they think they are? I would have said they sounded like 10 year olds, but i forgot that's what they mostly are. Besides, they will forget.

The Playstation website was slow as f*ck before this; now it will be a mess...

Jesus Christ. Grow the **** up. Not that Sony don't deserve this, though!

Never saw this coming... (sarcasm) I would hope that Sony would cool down their legal jets and hopefully Anonymous will not be become annonying.

Even though Sony deserves it as does Microsoft for their inept amounts of greed. I don't think this is the way to do it.
Anonymous smacks of self important "look at me" acts of forms of cyberterrorism.
Where does it end? When they take down something that ends up hurting someone?
Obviously taking down the Playstation Network doesn't fall into that category. However, I think the question still should be asked.

So they're greedy are they? Have you heard of capitalism before? They are working hard to ensure they do as best they can. What else would you expect? How can anyone honestly expect them to do anything else?

This proves Anonymous is just a group of teenage script kiddies. They have the eloquence of a rhinoceros.

They have the rights to protect their property and before you complained that you can do whatever you want because you bought the system, go and read the service agreement that you "agree" when you bought the system.

I agree with what Sony is doing but I don't like what they're doing. Basically I agree that Sony has every right to protect their property and proceeding with legal actions but I don't like that they did that with GeoHot because I think they are taking it too far. However I don't agree and don't like what Anonymous did here.

The sense of entitlement is getting ridiculous.

They have now started to threaten to 'dox' high ranking sony officials.

The Anonymous group will have my respect on the day they hack HotPockets.com

@omnislip

Andrew Cockburn wrote an excellent piece (rightfully titled as well with Deep Throat's reference) 'Follow the Money' sometime ago. Now, the industry targetted in that article is different, but frankly, the practices of what I call 'corporatocracy' in all industries is same; hence, they have simple mission always 'enhance bottom line with whatever it takes'. Now if you understand this, only then you can grasp the reasons these corporations are constantly trying to implement some form of DRM (or similar ghastly lockouts) in everything digital instead of revisiting their own failings in the market place and improving upon them to stop piracy etc.

hello ...

i won't comment onto the article, for most of you knows my position. I'm a PRO SONY in this case, check it out i said in this case, for as a PS3 owner i suffered more of Geohot's & those hackers decision than i won something out of it, so yes if i buy something i want to use it with peace of mind & no burden,

I admit that SONY does a bit too much, but if it succeed in slowing down such actions in the future, i shall even send them money to get rid of hackers.

those hackers, even if i understand their point of view & the hypocrisy behind a lot of them, as well behind a lot of comments on various sites, it's always a big responsibility when you CAN do something while you also learn the HOW, WHEN, WHY to do so... i shall respect hacker who shows me that he CAN break open a system, when he/she can also prevent the same from being exploited by others & as long as it is a sport not terrorism.

"don't do unto others what you don't want others do unto you" - this is my 1st principle ...

cheers!

Not that I usually agree with Annonymous, but this thing between GeoHot and Sony has really made me think a lot less of Sony as a reputable company. I'm not usually one to write letters or send emails, but I might end up writing a letter to their gaming division's HQ on April 17th. Going to a local retailer is going to do nothing except upset the employees at your local Gamestop.

4chan's servers can't be that good right? Sony could probably take down the website themselves.... lol.

Looks like Anonymous has called a cease fire in their campaign against Sony.
