Bottom Line: Sony filed a lawsuit against two hackers and in an outrage, the hacker community self titled "Anonymous" has pledged to make Sony's life a living hell. Consequently, by proving their point, they also affect millions of PlaySation Network users - users like myself!
In a statement issued by the group, they went on to say:
"there has been a lot of hate spread throughout the internet and over the forums that we are being reckless and simply punishing consumers more than Sony. To the consumers I would say: before you judge us, take the time to understand us."
Umm...I'm pretty sure there isn't much to understand. I cannot log in to play Socom 4, due to you proving a point to Sony for utilizing the courts to their advantage, much like any other person in the United States can do when they feel they have a case (justifiable or otherwise). And as such, I like millions others are unable to play a game which has a window of about 8 days only to BETA test.
What is left to understand?
At the end of the day folks, Anonymous feels people should be able to hack and jailbreak their own consoles as they please; after all, Apple fought the same case with their phones - and lost as it was deemed NOT illegal to hack. Sony on the other hand has banned people's accounts for hacking and jailbreaking. It's their console, it's their rules - right?
Well, "Anonymous" doesn't seem to think so.
So here is the real question I pose for you guys, did Anonymous REALLY cause the servers to be shut down, or did Sony take them down to protect themselves and gain support against Anonymous?
You be the judge, but I'd love to hear your thoughts for sure.
