That was not my logic at all.
Just because Sony should be held to higher standards and just because they should be in trouble maybe for having a security flaw (like they're the only ones? It's just fashionable to hate Sony's divisions), this doesn't discount my very first point that you shouldn't downplay the fact that this person committed a crime. A very real crime that you wouldn't be defending if you liked Sony instead of disliked them.
My problem is we go to hold criminals accountable for real life crimes that you wouldn't want committed against yourself and then you get these online people whining that they are heroes somehow. It's ridiculous.
- sophacles 15y agoI never once declared there wasn't a crime. Nor did defend it. I didn't even declare it should be downplayed. I said it should not be overhyped. There is a difference. Please stop putting words in my mouth (erm.. fingers). You know what I don't want?: to be hacked or robbed. I think it is fine that we hold people accountable for it and punish their actions (provided it is appropriate for the crime). You know what else I don't want?: I don't want my supposedly secured info made available to the first guy with an sql-injection. I think the asshats who let this hacking-101 trick past should also be accountable and punished. It's kind of funny: you seem to think that Sony not be the only people with security flaws is somehow mitigating, but if someone said "Recursion isn't the only hacker your know" you would probably jump down their throat. I think that responsibility should go two ways and you are getting all sorts of worked up over it.
