That is the stupidest almost cartoonishly villainous thing I have ever seen a real life company do.

What are they going to do with the names, track down every address and sue them? :?

Why not? Sony is just protecting its investment.

I'm assuming that sony is trying to track the ip addresses of people who visit this site so they can ban people from psn who use these addresses,there is a constant battle between sony and those who are known as "pirates".

Personally i don't like the idea of a company tracking my ip address and moniter what i'm surfing online, google and microsoft already do that.

Actually i tot this stuff was going to be done to prove something to the court or so,i think people should research the issue before concluding.

Also to be frank,nothing GeoHotz do or however he suffers would make me sympathize or anything,things iv personaly seen with my two eyes change after his hack would never make me respect him ever

I didn't even know he had a website. I did go to some skaterfu hacker guy's blog though, but it was only from a link from a story and it didn't show you how to hack the PS3. It seems like it would make more sense for Sony to ban the people who hace actually hacked their PS3s rather than anyone who went to his site, half of which probably haven't even hacked their PS3s, many may have been linked there for a story or went there out of curiousity.

Anybody for Sony is a simple fanboy. This is ridiculous.

Its very easy. If you havent done anything wrong, then you have nothing to worry about. Im pretty sure only those who use this so called "homebrew" are against this. It is a bit controversial, yes, but on the other hand - they have to fight the scum with similar methods. "Pirates" dont play fair play so why should Sony care? "Pirates" are the ones who started playing dirty so what.

Good Sony is doing the right thing.

Sony's not going to go after anyone on that list (legally); that would be silly. I'm assuming Sony's primary goal is to use the list as evidence to support the argument that geohotz's actions and his website caused some kind of (most likely direct) damage. Rakuho

I would be for homebrew if it was for creating new apps not designed to pirate games, to cheat or to do anything similar. But I honestly believe that 99% of people who run CFW do so for those things Ive just mentioned. There might be exceptions though. PC is much more suitable for homebrew anyway.

Is that so... Well, I haven't been following the case so my knowledge of it is severely limited (hopefully you're not steering me in the wrong direction :P).

At least I was in the ball park that Sony's using the list for a greater purpose than nailing a bunch of website visitors. :lol:

So wait if people unknowingly visited that website or just to read something on there, like an article or something. They will get banned from PSN? If so, then I find that highly ridiculous. I honestly don't even know if I've ever visited that website before.

ShiningBashir10

a lot of people use dynamic IP's and even static ip's can be changed by request. Sure they can sue your isp for your details, but they wont ban the IP

Where on Earth do people keep getting this notion? Nothing in the article states or even implies it. For f***s sake people, try reading instead of jumping to baseless conclusions.

But regardless, losing your right to privacy is not justifiable in any means. It's disgusting and it is a breach of a basic human right. Always. It's never worked in the court room for larger crimes and it shouldn't set a precedent now. Figured people would be more defensive about this, with what The Patriot Act and all.
