@ps3 user Lol did you actually use characters to block out the word "punk?"

Maybe if some of you stopped playing games all god damn day then you could learn English so when you reply to topics like this you don't look like 2nd graders. Reading these replies is like being in special-ed class.

While i get why geohotz hacked the system, he in fact did not have a right to do so. It violated the terms of use and a couple of IP laws, since Sony has proprietary software on the system. To have hacked it he needed to reverse engineer it, which is illegal. On top of that, geohotz could have easily put on a white hat and notified Sony directly about the security issues. Instead, he put on a black hat and released the code to the public, falling back on the bullshit claim that he never indented it to be used to pirate.

Again, that's a crap reason - he knew it, I know it, every hacker in the world knew it, Sony knew it, and you know it. No one hacks a system with good intentions, says it's to learn from while putting it online, and demands they be hired to stop the leak. It was a poor power play that got him a relative slap on the wrist for what COULD have been done to him. He was an idiot to think it would do anything other than spur more attacks on Sony. And, I think that was his intent. What's funny, is that it took him and other hackers until the end of cycle for the product to hack it effectively (but not thoroughly). He forgets that Sony was one of the original developers of DRM. ALl this will do is make Sony tight than they are in the long run and he's made sure to make the lives of regular people that follow the rules more difficult.

I also understand the concept of using what you've paid for as you see it. The move to get rid of "other OS" was addressed legally and Sony is facing class action. Hacking it out of "disappointment" is not the place of geohotz. I too was a little upset because I actually had yellow dog Linux, but it wasn't practical and hardly functional. If I were to have hacked it, then I would understand that I'd be taking a risk. Sony has no legal or moral obligation to support their products when used outside the listed purpose anymore than Ford is responsible for their engine after you modify it.

It's annoying that allegedly some people thought it would be fun to hack PSN. However, it's a clear example of why we as a society do not need to move to cloud computing. Corporations may do everything they can to be secure and protect data, but all corporations ensure they meet the minimum standards on anything to cut costs. People protect their own property much better on their own and when things get lost it only effects that individual and not a network of people. Again, I say "no" to cloud anything. Give me physical rmedia and physical storage all day every day.

Now, the alleged hackers that did this may think it's funny, and probably all Xbox gamers (they wouldn't hurt themselves), or at least have hacked PS3s. Whatever, but I'm fairly certain were going to look at tighter control and more hoops to jump through to get anything we are offered. The best way to let a company know they're messing up is to stop buying it, not hacking. Those actions are for the people that have a self entitlement problem, thinking they have a right to have their cake and eat it to. In the long run, it just creates bigger problems instead of fixing them.

Can anyone think of an example where hacking a system forced a company to loosen up and give in? I cant. Not apple, not Microsoft, and not Sony. It has however forced them to add pay structure to previously free things that hacking evidenced as desired. Great job ass clowns...

Its confimed that PSN was hacked by anonymous, Here how he is seen mocking Sony.

Hope you all like this.

WHEN THE F$%^ IS IT ONLINE AGAIN, THATS ALL I CARE ABOUT! DUMB @SS HACKER NERDS

@J Um, how about you just shut the f**k up, how bout that? Do you even KNOW what Sony has been up to? They have been tracking everyones I.P address(everyone who owns a PS3 at least). They can tell what you do on-line and when you did it. They are invading privacy. It not only applies to what you do on your PS3 it also applies to what you do on your computer. I'm not siding with either side in the matter, but honestly I think Sony deserves to be hacked. Do I think the hackers should be hacking Sony? NO its wrong, but like I said Sony deserves it.

@allyoups3 noobs.. He cracked the network., not hacked it.learn the difference. And ps3 is a computer.

@Anonymous_Fan Wow you little douche. You're a f**king idiot. If you wanna hack,m listen to GUNNs and go on PC where it's legal. Look what your dumbass and all those others like you did to others that don't like hacking. It affects us and we don't like it. Some of us have no life and this is all we do, play games. it's like stealing the game of football from football players. that's what they do and love. You're ruining for us you little f**ks

@Shawn_gordon I like how you say things. Lol

@J these f**kin hackers are gay >:(

I just want Black ops. I thought I was mad but s**t you guys take it to a whole other level. Great reading guys thanks

Shout out to Brooklyn and my STFU Clan

@Jo_
You know what your posting are threats. This thread has been saved for future evidence. Threatening someone's life is not tolerated. You need some serious help.

Thanks,

Biteme@CyberCop The hackers are cyber vandals. If they can be found they need a little Old Testament justice. Physical retribution is justified.

They have harmed thousands of people for their own personal agenda. If they have a problem with Sony, sue them or go to the court of public opinion, don't victimize innocent people who just want to use their gaming systems.

Cyber Cop/Cyber Patrol- same for you too.

what type of hacking in play station is some tricks if u know then tell me.

After all my searching I think i've figured out how justice should be brought against these hackers.

They think because it's THEIR PS3 they should be allowed to do whatever they like with it . regardless of how it effects OTHER PEOPLE (ie. ruining the communitys online gaming).

So by that logic I should be allowed to use MY FIST as i please. Regardless of how it effects THEM (ie. Ruining their face and leaving them bruised, bleeding and broken).

I'd like to see if they start hacking again after EVERYONE they have effected has had a chance to follow their logic train.

I hate they [url=https://www.g***********y.com/runescape/gold/runescape_en.html]runescape gold[/url]

i agree with fishbot but we should hire a team of hackers to hack xbox just so the xbox fanboys stop laughing.
