Sony under siege by Anonymous

As much as they are/aren't targetable, it doesn't change that they are leaving a message. All rebellion, supressed or not, has its effects on the minds of people.

The only impact is on the "minds" of sheep. Unfortunately, those sheep make up a large portion of the internet which is why Anonymous exists in the first place.

And yeah, I agree with Dustin. Sony has big money behind them, and law. If GeoHotz had a case the only thing Anonymous is doing is harming it. Sony can easily use this to show why exactly limitations need to be imposed; this sense of entitlement from the children of the internet needs to be stomped on.

All action like this encourages is heavy-handed retaliation -- more rules. They'll keep pushing until they pineapple with the wrong person or peoples and get slammed, be it personally, publicly or internationally. The more enemies they make the easier it becomes for this to get ugly. The support of a hundred thousand 8 year olds or 22 year old manchildren won't mean pomegranate against the corporations and governments of the world.
