Sony under siege by Anonymous

Yeah, since when have Anonymous been doing good deeds? Once in a while their interest compass converges with the society's moral compass (discovering the identity of the cat torturer, I believe) but that would be insufficient to assume that they are in the slightest interested in what people think of them.
In fact, no matter what incident involving Anonymous, it is easy to see the mentality behind their actions, they just feel like f'ucking around with it.

Look at CrazyNomad's post. Well, though I really have to say this sounds kinda propaganda-ish. I mean like, duh who would say "HAHAHA WE DON'T GIVE A FLYING pineapple WHAT HAPPENS TO YOU" if they wish to garner public support? Perhaps I'm reading too much into it. In any case, I do think Anonymous can be trusted on their claim of "We are not aiming to attack customers of Sony". In any case, if they will not harm Sony customers in their endeavours, then I shall not delve any further into this matter.

Still, there are some flaws in their argument:

[Sony's] propaganda regarding jailbreaking implies that it encourages piracy and thereby makes people lose their jobs, whereas jailbreaking actually just means you are making YOUR device do what it should do.

Think about it. Installing homebrew allows the player to just download games off of the web and play them. Sounds good, right? Perhaps it is. However, what about the companies who invested so much time, effort and money just to design and develop (and manufacture) those games? Surely they should earn some profit or at the very least break even. However, if everyone downloads a ripped version off of the internet and getting to play the game for free, that company is going to make a huge loss. Sony itself will lose out too, since Sony will also stand to profit from UMD purchases. Even if it is not Anonymous' intention, it is extremely likely that someone somewhere will exploit the custom firmware so as to play these ripped games. The world is not so simple; everything comes at a price. Nothing is completely free. If Sony decides to give in, I can guarantee that all those companies will eventually go bankrupt.

If Anonymous can guarantee that piracy will definitely not occur as a result of this, then I would have nothing more to say.
