Why has Sony been targeted instead of Microsoft? Or Nintendo? Why Sony instead of the RIAA, the MPAA, most banks, any number of financial institutions, politicians, governments or countless other companies and organizations?
Anon or whatever the groups are calling themselves like to think they are Robin Hood, The Green Arrow, Che Guevara, Han Solo or some chaotic good band of rogues that steal from the rich and give to the poor. Instead they are a poor collection of anarchists and armchair libertarians that steal the money the poor give to the rich for themselves and vandalize what's left. They are digital cat burglars ransacking someone they think slighted them and burning down their home in the process.
Recently Sony might have been a lesser bully on the playground, although piss poor advertising and placing safeguards into their products does not a bully make. Anon "stood up" to this bully originally, and the bully took a few punches and limped off with a bloody nose. Anon had done this before and moved onto the next target.
This time they continued to "stand up" to Sony. Giving it a punch in the nose every time they crossed paths. Now other bullies smell blood, and anon just sits back thinking it is both the hero of the playground and ruler at the same time.
So why Sony? Steam limits what you can do with their software. The XBox 360 has similar restrictions as the PS3. Apple has sent out firmware updates that bricked jail broken phones. Adobe still charges 2 grand for their software. The RIAA and MPAA continue to go after people who torrent their properties. The WBC still pickets funerals. Banks still foreclose on houses and insurance agencies still deny cancer treatments. China is still in Tibet. Libya has not fallen. Australia still bans video games in their country. Canada has put a cap on bandwidth. There are thousands better causes or causes that strike closer to the hearts of these groups, so please, why Sony?
