When you have a legitimate beef or problem with someone, you don't take illegitimate and illegal actions against them. I'm all for reverse engineering. That's fine.
Extorting a company by threatening them with release of an exploit if you don't get your way is not legitimate, that's blackmail or extortion.
All of the hackers attacking Sony for months, disabling PSN, is not legitimate, and should never have been supported by anyone.
Just let the courts handle it like they should and did.
- monksy 7y ago> illegal actions against them What's illegal about reverse engineering a physical product you sell to someone? > Disabling psn Are you kidding me? The PSN was notriously insecure. Sony didn't give a crap until they were embarassed.
- grogenaut 7y agoRead my post. Reverse engineering legal and to me moral. Extorting a company with a threat of release of a thing to get what you want: extortion and illegal. This was done by people around hots. Agreed: psn was insecure. Hacking is still illegal. By taking these actions we lost the moral high ground as hackers. The class action by itself would be just fine
- monksy 7y agoThe class action only happened because it was hacked. Sony just threw up it's hands and said "we don't care" until they were forced to.
