Anonymous Not Targeting PSN Customers

PSN not a target this time around.

Anonymous announced their intentions to make life miserable for Sony as a backlash against their support of SOPA, but has recently clarified their stance. Instead of trying to take down the PlayStation Network, which some had presumed, the Hacktivist group has said that their focus will be on Sony Executives and websites instead.

Sony recently recinded their support of SOPA, but the group is still looking to "post personal information about Sony executives online, deface Sony's website with anti-SOPA propaganda, and make copywritten Sony media available for free from links on Sony's assorted websites," says Game Informer.

The threats that were made last week prompted not only Sony to back-pedal from the Bill, but both Nintendo and EA made statements concerning their stance on Anti-Piracy Act.

I dont agree with posting personal details and information on the internet. You can ruin lives. What gives anonymous the right to do that.

You have free speech but you dont have the right to cause harm to anyone.

For example you can protest peacefully but as soon as violence is involved then your argument is void. I cant understand y the police did fuckk all during the london riots. They had the options to use water cannons, rubber bullets and tear gas but No. Obviously ppl in charge of the police made a massive cock up. The ppl who looted are the waste of space that doesnt benefit society in any way.

At least they wont be trying to disrupt PSN. :)

  yeah, getting stuff for free sucks! I would hate to get Tomb Raider for free along with Marval pinball, a bunch of psone classics and mini games, along with premium themes, avatars, huge discounts on awesome games.
  
  that all sucks! It’s much better getting ass raped by M$! never get anything for free, old tech, no good games for 2 years in a row.
  
  have fun with your Mii HD avatar Paul, can’t do anything with it but hey, so much better than free stuff.
