Bringing PSN down: Why hackers’ deeds are worse than Sony’s

So, this hacker group called Anonymous threatened Sony due to the latter suing Geohot and Graf_Chokolo. They say Sony will have to pay for this insolence. I can’t help but laugh at these childish people with a self entitlement complex who think, they can do anything they want. It’s okay we get it, you don’t like what Sony did but there is a simple recourse to that. Just don’t buy their products. Why in the world do you have to DDOS their websites? It won’t prove anything and probably makes Sony’s case stronger. It’s a very childish thing to do but of course, it’s the internet and we know how bad things can really get.

So what exactly is their problem? Sony bullied the hackers? Well, they had it coming when hacking the PS3 and violating Sony’s intellectual property rights. I am not saying what Sony did by removing the Other Os was a right thing to do; it was a terrible move but they have all the right in the world to do it and they did nothing out of the law, by doing so.

So, back to this Anonymous group. They recently threatened Sony with consequences because suing Geohot and Graf Chokolo made it ‘personal’ and currently as we speak some Sony websites are down causing inconvenience to legit consumers. Am I the only one that sees how stupid these people are?

How can you fight for consumer rights and fuck them over as you do it? It’s not like Geohot and Graf Chokolo are so innocent. As I said earlier they had it coming. By DDos’ing Sony websites, it only sends a message to Sony that will make them lock down the PS3 and future Sony products even more. They aren’t going to drop the case against Geohot just because you bring some websites down.

And that’s not it, reports are coming in that many users are also experience problems accessing PSN. Now, how uncool is that? Make the consumer suffer, for whom all these hackers were claiming to be fighting for. And why? Because to prove a point. By carrying out such appalling activities, it only proves that these guys are only here to cause chaos and show how l33t they are, and don’t give a damn about the consumer or their rights.

But what can Sony do? They inform us that they’ll be working round the clock to ensure average user’s PSN experience isn’t affected in any way.

They informed this via a tweet:

PSN currently undergoing sporadic maintenance. Access to the PSN may be interrupted throughout the day. We apologize for any inconvenience.

This shows their dedication to the community and how badly they want to offer them unmatched service, even in times such as these.

So, Sony’s suing their fellow hackers and hence, the entire Playstation community should suffer? If that’s their mentality, we dare say it’s much worse than Sony’s

They are just playing into Sony’s hands, and this makes Sony’s case even stronger. In my opinion, Sony should take all of them head on. It’s about sending a strong message that they will protect their partners, third party publishers and legit consumers.

We would love to hear our readers opinions in the matter. Do you think this group has done the right thing by attacking Sony in such a manner? Let us know below.
