Anonymous To “Destroy” Sony’s Online Network for SOPA Support

PlayStationLifeStyle: With Sony’s online service hacked and brought down earlier in the year by internet activists Anonymous, gamers everywhere suffered from the downtime of the PlayStation Network and its subsequent hack. Unfortunately, if you thought that it was all over, then you’d sadly be wrong – Anonymous seems to have declared war on Sony, again. (Anonymous, Culture, Industry, Sony)

Damnit, I thought this sh*t was over. I don't agree with SOPA, but I don't agree with this either. As your mother always said to you, two wrongs don't make a right.

Looks like Anonymous spoke to soon?
How about they go after the UFC for supporting SOPA? Would make about as much sense as anything else they do/plan to do.

If this is anonymous's way of justice then it is falsely directed at people who are not involved with SOPA. Sony, Nintendo and Electronic Arts dropped support of the proposed bill after realizing the consequences of the bill.

Also even if Sony was involved with the bill and Anonymous successfully brought down Sony's online network, It would not help anybody. Many jobs would be affected by this attack and it would make it difficult for Sony to create jobs in the future because last time Sony had to spend $171M USD to bring the service back up.

What i dont understand.. Why just Sony? Why not EA, Nintendo, Activision, and the MANY other people/businesses that support this bill?

Then again, they have obviously spoken to soon, as Sony, EA, and Nintendo have all dropped support.

Not these retards again. only a few people support them and they think they are great for taking on sony and the like. start f**king hacking china's cyber warfare division or peadphile rings and be useful for once. you may hurt sony but your really hurt sony's customers, so leave normal people alone.

You know, part of me hopes that they do attack Sony again. Especially after Sony has declined support of the bill. The reason I hope they do attack is to watch the public opinion of Anonymous drop like a fucking weight.

Really, Anon is only shooting themselves in the foot.

If they want to do good to the world they can be hacking Iran's government network or China's tight internet security. Not Sony, MS or Nintendo that is just bull...
