Anonymous VS Sony: The Battle Begins

[SPH73]

Hey guys, let's make Sony remember this by boycotting the NGP when it comes out! (y)

I am not buying one because of this youtube nonsense.


it doesn't count as a boycott if you weren't going to buy it anyway...

you're not going to buy another Sony product ever again? you better pay attention to the insides of all of your electronics from now to eternity... you're never going to own a bluray player? ever?

Jesus Christ... Please allow me to clear up some of the stupidity in this topic.

1. Sony didn't invent bluray. There are bluray players on the market that are not made by Sony.

QUOTE

"Japanese inventor Shuji Nakamura invented the first efficient blue LED."

"Blu-ray Disc was developed by the Blu-ray Disc Association, a group representing makers of consumer electronics, computer hardware, and motion pictures."

Many industry indsiders also consider bluray to be the new Laser Disc and not the true next gen format.

The slow read speeds do make the format s*** for gaming. Even a faster drive wont fix the slow data transfer. Bluray is great for movies and s*** for gaming.

2. Name ONE piece of electronics not made by Sony that uses Sony components. Although you may be able to find one or two, you greatly exaggerate their contributions to the electronics industry.

Its so EASY to live without Sony. There are so many other, better choices on the market. If someone says they're not going to purchase a Sony product, well that's fine for them. Only a fanboy would object and try to cry foul. These same idiots are supporting a company that is attacking pirates while they themselves post on a piracy focused web site. This fact alone automatically negates anything they have to say on the subject. Their opinions are literally meaningless.

Seriously, I hope you kids have made your peace with karma. Because that s*** it a bitch. One day it will be your ISP knocking at your door.

sony had nothing to do with creating bluray? you should fix the wiki then http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blu-ray_Disc#Origins

no one greatly exaggerated anything... i merely insinuated that unless you are 100% sure that every electronic device you purchase has 0 components manufactured by sony how can you really "boycott" them?

a sony fanboy? really? the only sony product i've owned in the last 10 years was a psp and i don't even have that anymore. as i've said, i hope sony loses this case. do i think they've gone too far? hell no i don't. do i give a shit if sony has my IP address? not in the least. people are worked up because they see tech sites posting headlines like "Sony Knows Who You Are!!!" which is misinformation. they can't get your names or home addresses... all they can get is the state (in the U.S. only, foreign countries don't concern them at all in these subpoenas) from which an IP address originated. no one can be sued.

"but sony's invading my privacy" - you're privacy is already being invaded by so many entities it's not even funny
"but i'm a "hacker" and i stand by Geohot" - bullshit you are

the only fanboys in this thread are the sony haters. it's "cool" to hate sony right now... i'm going to buy whichever system has the games i want to play. right now it's the xbox 360. maybe in the future it'll be the PS6. console loyalty is a joke.

+9001.

Yes but it was a great format for its day.

In the 90s it was the only way to see the kind of extras, deleted scenes, trailers, etc that you commonly find on today's DVDs.
It was also the only way to watch most films in their proper cinematic aspect ratio. (I hate pan and scan.)

If you were a serious movie fan Laser Discs were the only way to go.

One more thing...

To the other guy who said Sony "created" bluray... I already covered that in my last post. Beat you to it.

Waaaaay off topic now.

 

[retKHAAAN]

i guess some people just understand that piracy is illegal and know that one day they may have to pay the piper for doing something they knew to be WRONG. i've pirated games. that doesn't mean i'm loyal to everyone else who pirates games. how can anyone blame Sony for attacking PIRATES? EVERYONE HERE KNOWS IT'S ILLEGAL TO PIRATE!!!

at the same time. we should be able to modify our personal property in any way we see fit.

karma is a bitch. and we'll all remember that if/when we're living in a cardboard box paying Sony or any other company with the cans we pick up on the street.

edit: @SPH73 - read much? who said Sony "created" bluray by themselves? no one did. Sony played a role in the development did they not? what exactly did you "cover" in your last post?

Sony started two projects applying the new diodes: UDO (Ultra Density Optical)[6], and DVR Blue (together with Pioneer)[7], a format of rewritable discs that would eventually become Blu-ray Disc (more specifically, BD-RE). The core technologies of the formats are similar.

The first DVR Blue prototypes were unveiled at the CEATEC exhibition in October 2000 by Sony.[8] A trademark for the "Blue Disc" logo was filed February 9, 2001.[9] On February 19, 2002, the project was officially announced as Blu-ray Disc,[10][11] and Blu-ray Disc Founders was founded by the nine initial members.

Blu-ray Disc Founders
Sony Corporation
20th Century Fox
Dell
Hewlett Packard
Hitachi
LG Electronics
Panasonic Corporation
Mitsubishi Electric
Philips
Pioneer
Samsung Electronics
Sharp
TDK
Thomson

This isn't about piracy. Never was. Its about privacy. Go back and read the entire topic.

Plain and simple. No one should be monitored for watching a video. Public Information is free. Viva la revolution!

Old8oy you assuming everyone that hack stuff is a pirate which is not true. You can be a anti-pirate and still hack your own stuff.

 

[retKHAAAN]

wow SPH73...

i think you have a personality disorder

the piracy comment was in reference to this:

Only a fanboy would object and try to cry foul. These same idiots are supporting a company that is attacking pirates while they themselves post on a piracy focused web site. This fact alone automatically negates anything they have to say on the subject. Their opinions are literally meaningless.

Karma goes both ways bud...

I didn't imply shit regarding who created blu-ray

you misinterpreted my statement. the person i was responding to claimed to be swearing off everything Sony forever. i was pointing out that Sony has their hands in many things. at no point did i give sony full credit for creating blu-ray, the Earth, or anything else for that matter...

You think you are a cannibal troll but you assume too much...

Feel free to my check my posts in previous threads if you think i support Sony in their case. I hope they crash and burn. but they have every right to try and defend themselves in the meantime. Have you personally read the subpoenas? Do you know precisely what they'll have access to and how they can use it?

Old8oy you assuming everyone that hack stuff is a pirate which is not true. You can be a anti-pirate and still hack your own stuff.

again, i don't assume shit

dude specifically mentioned "supporting a company that's attacking pirates". that is where the piracy comment came from.

Pirates will always use homebrews as crutch.

 

[_Chaz_]

Fucking finally!

Took anon long enough to catch wind, didn't it?

 

[Rydian]

Pirates will always use homebrews as crutch.

In the same way that gun owners use "self-defense" as a crutch?

yup, in the same way.

Sad, because some homebrews are amazing.

 

[KingVamp]

Pirates will always use homebrews as crutch.

Because their no good, honest homebrewers.

 

[Haloman800]

Who the heck is leading these people? I mean, I'm sure tons of people try to give them orders, but who does who take orders from?

I guess they're...


But seriously, it must be really hard leading an attack without any leaders or any real order. I guess the chaos makes it more.. Effective.

Personal insults? Stay classy Old8oy.

Off topic... Walkman? Walkman were crap. Walkman have been crap since the late 80s.

 

[GeekyGuy]

This is obviously a hot topic of debate, but let's stay on topic please. Also, reel in the profanity a bit. I'm not one to blush, but some of these remarks are bit too graphic for the all-ages community that make up GBAtemp.

Peace

I like what they did to HGBary over its complicity with Bank of America to attack WikiLeaks with defamation and leadership picking, despite to this day being no evidence that it planned to release any leaked documents against them. It was major ass owning. I have faith in anon delivering the very best in asskickery.
