OTTER MODE ACTIVATE!
It seems that Anonymous is making headlines again with an attack on another major corporation; this time it's Sony.

This isn't the first time that Anonymous has been making headlines. They've also gotten involved in the Wikileaks scandal targeting Bank of America, this article being the most recent update. As well as targeting the Westboro Baptist Church.

As of recent it seems that Anonymous has as of recently gone from being a dark humored forum board to the internet equivalent of the IRA.

How do you guys feel about this issue? Do you feel Anonymous needs to be taken out or do you feel that these raids they're performing are justfied? Are they criminals or are they freedom fighters defending the flow of information?
 
I'd like to point out that /b/ and Anonymous are two different things entirely. Not sticking up for /b/ at all, but just because they use the titles of Anonymous does not automatically make them the Scourge of the Internet...even though some of them are pretty bad, but not all.

They have the right idea with free information. I mean, its a horrible thought, knowing that some people can't go online and find out something when someone across the globe can. I just don't think hacking is the right way to go.

why you break rules 1 and 2?

Most people agree that aside from Rule 34, there are no real rules of the internet. I'd also like to point out that rules 1 & 2 are just a fight club reference.

Believe me I know most of 4chan is completely harmless but regardless, it is where this group got their namesake from and it is where many of them originated from.
 
true, anyways... i kinda agree with them about sony being dicks atm... they have been suing people for just modding to get the Other OS feature back... a feature you couldn't keep if you wanted to keep using other advertised features. i'm pretty sure thats illegal... not to mention f'ed up

(and let us not forget them looking at the IPs of everyone that watched his videos... now that is just not right, no two ways about it there.)
 
Sony has been in the wrong for a while but Anonymous isn't doing itself any favors. Sony is stubborn, and they will let their consumers pay for what Anonymous is doing rather than fixing the problem. Unless Anonymous can move past DDoSing and actually dig up some dirt like they did with the HBGary emails or the 'holy' texts of Scientology they're wasting their time; in a war of attrition the companies will always win, always at the expense of the consumer.
 
Well, its clearly in Sony's Terms of Use that no modding is to be done, and modding/spreading the tools that you used to mod your system is kinda sorta against their Terms. I mean, its not hard to read them.
Yeah, there's A LOT of messed up stuff in those ToU, if you read them. Its actually pretty hilarious, for some of them. But, purchasing their product, and using it, is agreeing to those terms.
 
they fight for our freedom of information and they anoyed the westboro baptist church for that I thank them, however I don't feel it is the right way to fight for it.

The worst thing practically everyone does (myself included on free items) is not reading the ELUA/ToC/ToU etc. The Wii's EULA asks that you revert the Wii to Factory Settings before selling it to a third party (Understandable, but takes some aspect of the sales out of your hands). Although there have been cases where courts have nullified aspects of a ToC (selling EverQuest characters is a good example).

As for Anon, I'm more inclined to ignore their shenanigans, as it's become lower key in recent years. Although their targeting of "enemies" of WikiLeaks shouldn't be ignored.
 
Sony deserves it. Once you purchase a product it should be yours to use as you wish.
 
/b/ has nothing to do with this at all change the thread title.
A thread about this was posted on /b/ and everyone raged because they did not declare war. Anyone who uses the name anonymous just assumes that they can seem frightening because the name anonymous implies that /b/ is involved and /b/ can really **** you up. It's the idorts over in /sci/ and /v/ that are raging about this, but some random site that has declared war. Not a 4chan board.
 
Many things elude you Alleviate.


I don't know how one would take out something like Anon but they do have some good raids at times.

I'm not sure how I missed this thread...I only know like 3 cool people from 4chan, me and my buddies were planning to hack and destroy the site to save the interwebz, along with enclycopedia dramactia.

Rule 34 is not true for all cases and 4chan won't be around next year to **** with sony who also sucks.

JBchan is the new era. But yeah, we'll leave the cool sections /jb/
