I NEED SCISSORS
Banned
I see the usual corporate cheerleaders have already arrived to give out the Sony t-shirts. I would like mine in medium size, preferably polyester, and machine washable, thanks.

AlexM said:I'm also surprised at how many people are with sony on this one. I have a little in my paypal left over. Will donate.
Mama Robotnik said:Unfortunately as we've seen in other threads, a lot of people don't care much for the bigger picture and don't seem to understand how bad a Sony victory would be for them, and the future of the any console owners.
As long as the next COD match is cheat-free, some Sony enthusiasts don't care what we'd be giving up in the long run.

I mean on principle I can never feel bad for someone who cannot face the consequences when they do wrong. Whenever I do wrong it's with the full knowledge that I face that end alone if I get caught.
There shouldn't be risks. Sony is entirely in the wrong here.Amir0x said:I mean I can sympathize with him, but when you do something like this you have to know the risks. It's not worth paying into it.

I'm kind of in this camp.jay said:This whole thing reminds me a bit of illegal search and seizures in the states. In that case you have this vague evil, terrorism and its goal of defeating freedom, and that's motivation enough for people to say things like, "if I'm not guilty of anything I shouldn't mind being violated." In this case, there are masses of people afraid of the specter of piracy and cheating to the point where they do not believe they have the right to do what they want with their own belongings. People say stuff like, "only a pirate would want to hack their system." It's the same line of "if you want your rights then you must be evil" logic.

I think the worst-case scenario is that future consoles will be better locked down and can only run licensed games and applications; no more emulators, backup managers and calculators. That doesn't seem too bad if you simply want a secure entertainment platform used the way the manufacturer intended.Mama Robotnik said:Unfortunately as we've seen in other threads, a lot of people don't care much for the bigger picture and don't seem to understand how bad a Sony victory would be for them, and the future of the any console owners.

Fucktard. You're the problem.Rikyfree said:Oh noes, I hackzored da ps3 and possibly led it to piracy. Halp! Deal with it, Hotz. You punched a dog and it bit back. What did you think was going to happen?
PataHikari said:There shouldn't be risks. Sony is entirely in the wrong here.
The guy posted a math problem. Major security failures like this should be published. Because that way people know how to deal with them. If it had been kept secret and someone malicious had discovered it (which is quite possible) then we could have had PS3's being bricked/messed with left and right.

Lord Error said:I still remember him posting that he's in fact OK with piracy on PS3, because it only affects a 'big guy' who can take it - and then deleting that post. For that, he sounds like a hypocrite now.
DisenLedZep said:Yeah... this remembered me when I installed a turbo air supply in my car and Ford sue me for it. I remember opening a blog and asking people for donations. Luckly back then I raised 3000 dollars and I won in trial. Thanks to me, now everybody can installed their turbo air supply to their cars.
Just in case, not a real story. But it has the same level of idiocy of the Sony - Geohot thing

Well that didn't take long.RustyNails said:What if Sony's competitor gives some donation?
If the price is right. . . although they can always hike it up later. Crafty bastards.OldJadedGamer said:Or it will be like your cable box where you just lease it from the manufacturer and then they have the right to do whatever they want since you won't own the equipment.
tl;dr
Sony is lame, and is suing me for hacking MY OWN PS3. Help me own them in court
Yep, exactly. That's why it's so hard to sympathise with him. He could have worked under multiple pseudonyms like Dark Alex did and still achieve his goal of freeing the PS3 but it seems like he wanted prestige and fame too.alr1ghtstart said:Whether you agree with him or not, you have to admit he released them for an ego-stroke.

CadetMahoney said:Reminds me of the guy that once suggested MS buys up their own stock to give themeselves e-peen on the chartz.
CadetMahoney said:Anyway, I doubt any competitor would donate to this. Even if someone like MS did give some positive attention to the person who hacked the Windows phone (or something along those lines).
Plus he never "owned" the rights to the system's OS and firmware in the first place.Ploid 3.0 said:No they are suing him for releasing things for other people to install and build on worldwide.
axdenied said:Also, in the worst case scenario, what's at stake for him ? Jail time ?
