lol ridiculous. No way they could do anything to everyone who watched video/looked at site. They have zero evidence of any crime. I'm willing to bet that many people who looked at that stuff (myself included) don't even own a PS3.

They are not taking everyone who visited the site to court as many of you seem to have misinterpreted the article as having stated.
I see lots of angry comments here.. on a daily basis you hand out your IP address to numerous websites and game servers. I'm sure a good chunk of you visit shady sites and porn sites.. but when Sony wants your IP address to make a point in court suddenly the sky is falling?
I'm getting a little tired of all the pro-hotz anti-Sony arguments as they are just so misinformed or immature. What is the point of your stance anyways?
You want your favorite devs to be forced to battle piracy?
You want the proliferation of DRM?
You want to have your online experience ruined by hackers?
I mean if you feel so strongly about having Linux on your PS3 you clearly never updated it in the first place right?
So what is the point? What are you getting out of this?

They can't do nothing with the ip besides know from where do you are. Google knows, this site admins knows, everybody knows. They can't just go with your ip and ask for your personal information.

Sony is getting my IP address, but they have absolutely no right for that at all.
When I visit a website, I know they can store my IP address. I agree to that. However, for a third party to demand that information is rediculous. They are not the police. They have my IP address as well and I don't even own a PS3. It doesn't matter that I already share some infomration with people, that doesn't mean a corporation like Sony should get access to that information as well.

QUOTE(Law @ Mar 6 2011, 01:07 PM) It's like people in this thread don't realise what a useless number your IP address actually is.
It's like they don't realise how constantly it changes, either.
Well, if you looked at it closely, it makes perfect sense.Old8oy said:RoyalCardMan said:

I would agree. Some of the people in these forums just don't like admitting the truth.Old8oy said:Maedhros said:They can't do nothing with the ip besides know from where do you are.

The left side guy is the government, and he says he votes for the highest bidder, meaning they help the people with the most money.
The table is the court, which stands on the broken stand, which represents the values are very "broken".
Just the anti-Sony ones. Also I hope he knows that if he has to explain it, he's doing it wrong and that this was all a sick joke he's playing.Law said:RoyalCardMan said:Well, if you looked at it closely, it makes perfect sense.Old8oy said:RoyalCardMan said:

What makes you think your ip is important to them? They only need the ones from California, anyway.Giga_Gaia said:ISP here in Canada don't give personal informations. So Sony can't trace me no matter what they do. So Sony, you may have my IP, but it's completely useless to you. Without the ability to trace it back to my home address and any personal information, it's just 4 numbers from 1 to 255.
