'Anonymous' stops its assault on PSN

article published on 8 April, 2011

After days of assaulting the PSN (more info here), the hacking group 'Anonymous' has decided to change up its plan of attack, to one that will not affect Sony customers as much. Says the group: During the last few days, Anonymous has been targeting Sony for their outrageous treatment of not only PS3 users and jailbreakers, but also of the general public. Their propaganda regarding ... [ read the full article ]

Lets say that this is just the begining. We can carry this through out the industries. Now, you buy a new car and in a year you need new tires. You don't put the same brand that came on the car. Does this give the car manufacturer the right to come after you for modifing the car? Look at all the big service providers out there that are buying each other out. ONE provider means you have no choice and you must do what they say. Kinda of ironic what direction this world is headed. They are not testing the waters, they are daming it. Ouch.

This.

Seriously people WTF, you're arguing about software updates on a edited by ddp video game console. If you're older than 16, this should be a wake up call.

Face the music, people - Sony is boss. You bought their product, they have your money. From now on you're their edited by ddp. Now stop complaining because you're wasting your time.

Move on with your lives.

No. Wrong. Completely wrong. We bought their item, now we do whatever we please with it. We can do whatever we please with the product they created, & we spent our hard earned money on. We can enhance our ps3 to suit us in any way possible because we paid for it. We are boss of our individual machines.

I'm not arguing, there is no argument. The customers own the machines, & can & will do to it whatever they choose.

U can do whatever you want, just don't expect it work when you try to connect to PSN. Sony has made it clear you will accept their firmware update or your machine will have limited use. Some have decided that they will never buy Sony products ever again. Some love to make this point every time they post on here. I agree with the OtherOS argument and it sucks that they took it away. Go ahead and do whatever you want with your PS3. Jailbreak it, Mod it, kick it, or throw it away. And please continue with how you hate Sony and all their products and how they are the most evil corporation in the world. If anyone thinks Anonymous is going to have any long lasting effect on Sony's bottom line you are kidding yourself.

btw If we didnt love the product then none of all this would matter, would it?

I love my PS3, and I love the homebrew.
too bad Sony cant see that homebrew is a good thing like a app created for a Iphone.

Limited forsight leads to limited possibilities.

i am not a PS3 fan but i do agree on the topic, homebrew is everything these days but no corp fag-muffin will allow it so we just have to make our own way on these kind of things like all ways. The community will rule the internet

I c wot u dun. U turn tables on me. Clever u iz.

You are confused... Doing what you want with what you own IS perceived as a basic right fool... It constitutes the definition of ownership.

The laws of ownership extend from this basic founding principal. Haha.

If you can't understand the difference between owning a car and driving it on the road then what hope is there for you?

I suppose it's to be expected, you don't even understand the basics of economics I had to explain to you.

This is stupid... Is Sony taking back your PS3 because you paint it different color? How many time people have to spell it out for you, the purchased PS3 is yours, but not the PSN! People with modded PS3s want to hop on PSN like they still have the rights to do so.

we can do whatever we want with it & play on it as the machines advertised to do, online or not. modded or not. we should get whatever the consoles supposed to do & whatever we do to it is just a bonus. unless i install an update that specificaly if to stop online play, we should be able to use PSN on homebrew or not.

To all PS3 purchasers: OK, so you got screwed by sony and now there are persons and organizations out there willing to fight for you. The very least you can do it support them.
Now you are well aware that sony cannot be trusted. From this point forward, if you purchase anything from sony, DON't expect anyone to fight for you. You are on your own.

Sony can deny anyone permission to use PSN because they OWN it.

Let's get this straight... we do not rent the PS3's from them... we purchased them. So we are the owners of the device.

We purchased the PS3 so we can do what we like with them.

If Sony is not careful this will backfire on them, And the judges they got involved might get themselves disbarred or worse.

Its a lot easier being righteous than right.

I'll probably be beaten within an inch of my life and banned from the site for putting my blog link on here, but I write in defense of Anonymous and groups of a similar nature. Not directly (it's not that kind of blog), but I do speak out on the injustice of Greed, Lies and the gross over detailing of how things are to be done in order to remove the guilt of corporate sins or keep the consumer from doing anything they want from a goods/service they purchased free and clear. Russell's World is the name of the site. While it's still in its infancy, I do have to warn you that there is/will be something to offend everyone. Hopefully there will be something funny (at my expense) as well, but for god's sake don't take it too serious. I'm too old to play 'piss on the shoes' 24/7 with some of you younger guys. So check it out. You may see an explanation in there that lends insight as to 'why' these conglomerates are the gratuitous money whores that they are.

That and I can explain it in my word without being edited as these fine folks here have rules to follow (and justly so).

Thank you Gdot73.

You repeated my point, but it is lost on those who kiss Sony's butt.

I got screwed by Sony when they were sneaky about the OS, now I have 10gb I cant retrive, trust me I tried.
On the pc and etcetera.

One program acknowledges it has 320gb then when reformatted I only get 263gb. Difference of 57gb, of course your not always going to get the full amount but 57gb is considerable.

Its not right for Sony to make unannounced changes that affects MY HARDWARE!

There is a fine line between greed and bussiness.
there is also a differnece between company's who misuse thier authority concerning products.

Not all Corporations are "evil" to make that assumptions is lacking forsight and understanding of the corporate system.

The folks at Apple welcome different ideas, they want the customers to improve thier products.

Sony doesnt get that, and never will.

So you see not all Corporations are evil, what you talk of is nothing more than class warefare which is a tool of the Socalist.

Designed to cripple Capitalism.

Without Capitalism we are slaves to Socialism and a dictator.

Capitalism makes the free trade and ownership of bussiness possible.

Only a fool would encourage Socialism, asking the Gov for permission to live thier lives.

It is all connected, it matters.

@hk2,

er... I don't know how to put this... I'll just come out with it... you wont find a lot of love for Apple in these forums either... not in the corporation sense. :)

All for a nice balanced mix between the two systems myself.

Oh stop using the argument "if I purchased it, I own it, end of discussions." It's valid 100%! There's nothing wrong with it at all. HOWEVER, time changed! So the rules of the game are changing too.

Remember, we're not far off from the period where we could purchase slaves and we could do whatever we want with them. Does it make sense at the time?

We're still battling on the grounds of pets. We purchase them, so we can do whatever we want with them, including eating them, yes?

We already established grounds on modifying cars/guns even though we purchased them but yet we know the consequences of modifying them. We already accepted the terms with that didn't we?

So, what makes you think digital devices can't be the next thing? Eventually all digital devices will be connected somehow. Modifying the device to perform functionality beyond the intended purpose can be harmful to the general public. You can outcry all you want, but the rules are made by people with money.

True, but in the last 20 years it is my opinion that greed has been that greed has been running the business.

there is also a differnece between company's who misuse thier authority concerning products.

No complaint there...

Not all Corporations are "evil" to make that assumptions is lacking forsight and understanding of the corporate system.

I'm not sure 'who's foresight you're in regards to, so I'll assume mine. That being the case, in my blogasphere (which this isn't the forum) I'm attacking only the 'evils' so 'lumping all of them' is a bit pre-disposed on your behalf. Be kind, don't assume. My assumption was on my person, not you.

The folks at Apple welcome different ideas, they want the customers to improve thier products.

Yup, so long as those different ideas are for Apple's products strictest guidelines only and profits are an 80% margin to Apple.

Sony doesnt get that, and never will.

So you see not all Corporations are evil, what you talk of is nothing more than class warefare which is a tool of the Socalist.

Designed to cripple Capitalism.

Um, you lost me there. I speak on a class 'warfare' because that is where it is going to end up. That I am promoting a Socialist agenda is a juvenile conclusion. Corporations (the 'evil' ones) have indeed crippled the very idea/integrity of what capitalism was supposed to be. To go into further explanation of these truths & solutions would take a doctoral dissertation. Something simply not readable in a forum of blog.

Only a fool would encourage Socialism, asking the Gov for permission to live thier lives.

Yet, you make this comment and think that corporations aren't making you do just exactly that?
