Sony sued someone for installing Linux?
They prefer "cyber-activists". The problem is their activity is terrorism.
We are Basement Dwellers, but we think we're special.
These guys are going to subcontract it to bounty hunters. So, yeah.
I have one PS3, one PSP. Had 60GB PS3 that died. One account for 3 devices for me.
PCI (payment card industry) standard requires that credit card numbers aren't present in clear (readable) format on servers. There are even some credit card issuers that choose not to comply with this requirement.
I don't think there is a requirement by this standard to hide other data, such as name, address etc.
But, the US has some crafty lawyers that can sue gun manufacturers for not preventing a kid from taking dad's gun and shooting a brother...

"A server going down for a week because of heavy traffic"
Yeah, that's much better, network going down even without being attacked.
XBL went down for two weeks because it was overloaded by 10 million people. Imagine how long it would be down if it was attacked.
Time to oil up my squirt gun.
We we we so excited.
We so excited...
I hope carpet will match the drapes only colour-wise, not length-wise.
Mohican FTW!
@PhoenixDevil
Dude, that was so well said!
Don't worry. Real hackers will take care of that for making a case against them.
30% of the market is still better than 30% of the market minus $1B for CPU R&D minus $1B for extended RROD warranty.
@PHIBALNATION
You neither have a sense of humor nor you're good at math: 360's price at launch was $400, while you could get a 20GB PS3 for $100 more when it came out.
$100 is not that much more expensive to require a second job. It was a JOKE. But in their smear campaign 360 fanboys just ran out of ideas and labeled it as arrogance.
Was it worth it? 360 is last again even with one year head start.
@NathanExplosion
and don't forget abandoning the previous console so that their owners didn't have a choice but to buy a new one. Those two things add up.
Yeah, all those hackers and pirates owe me money. All the costs they are causing are being covered by paying customers such as myself in the end.
I can't blame thieves for being liars too.
So, until now those hackers were practicing hacking skills by hacking their own PCs, and now that the judicial system they are so concerned about is being "threatened" by a corporation?
What a BS. How dumb would someone need to be to believe that?
Seriously, guys using Russian domain are protecting US laws?
Because time is linear. When they gave otherOS, Sony couldn't know what would happen with it later. Logic FTW!
It'll be funny when bounty hunters knock on their doors. If they get caught they will be held responsible for all costs incurred by the PSN downtime. All this for gathering few thousand names and addresses...
