ONLY ONE THUMBSTICK?! oh no, poor fps games… sorry I only play first person shooters on PC.
No, not at all, I’m not giving them any credit. The thing is: any group of people has a natural leader. Anonymous is not different, I have seen it working and it is not like what you are saying. If someone comes with an idea that is accepted, the natural leader assumes that idea and tells everyone to do that or not. Of course, if someone has a good way to deal with people, it can convince a bunch of people to do as he thinks, and then he becomes a natural leader.
Whether or not anonymous’ actions (as a group, not as individuals) are good or bad, that is an entirely different discussion.
Just so you understand the concept: one experiment was made with a bunch of people. They weren’t aware of what the experiment was about, didn’t know each other and no one was assigned a leader. They put those people on a boat and told them to go across the river as fast as they could. When they were crossing the river, there was a person that was “controlling” the other ones, a natural leader.
When they got to the other margin, they took this leader away and told the others to go back as fast as they could. Then another person naturally became the new leader. They took this person, told them to go across the river again, and another person became a leader. That went on and on until there was only one person left in the boat.
You are confusing the group “anonymous” and an anonymous individual. The group of anonymous is well determined as a group of people, they go to irc.anonops.ru and decide to take some action. There might be some group that derives from this one, I don’t know, but note that that also happens in Spiritism and my comparison makes even more sense. And Spiritism is very well determined, even being disorganized.
Yes, like I said, people don’t follow the rules and the code like religious people do. Again, Spiritism is exactly like that.
It is like saying “men like women” or “Christians believe in hell”. That is generally true, despite there being a lot of exceptions. The same goes for any statement about the anonymous, like “anonymous are non-violent”, that is generally true although there possibly being exceptions.
Ok, unless you don’t want to look like a 12 year old: It’s “Copyright”, the right to copy. Ok?
Secondly, of course people have to feed their families. I bet Sony employees barely make it through the day in the U.S. and Europe (Unlike the people actually producing the PSP for 2 $ a day, dying of heavy metal poisoning in Asia. BUT we need our cheap high-tech, so FUCK that, piracy is the problem.) What I am trying to say is: don’t start with the “feed their families” bs. WE are not the ones having trouble feeding our families, no matter how many PSPs or anythings are pirated.
Thirdly: everything you sell, leaves your posession. The matter it has been produced off, and all the information on it is not yours anymore. You made a deal, you exchanged money, the quotient of everything valuable in our society, for a product and knew that anyone can basically open it and mess with it. You have NO power over it anymore. In my opinion you have to shut the fuck up once you have sold something, because you got money for the product and the thoughts attached to it. You may demand that someone makes a reference to you once he or she modified it, but that is it. Imagine clothing companies would sell you pants and then complain about the fact your mother is darning them, or increasing their waist size and sue you.
And last but not least this whole “this is mah idea, brand bla bla bla”:
NO one can “own” an idea or a word. It is the attempt of dark minds not only to get your money with shitty products but to also completely restrict you to the products they sell.
Ideas are fleeting, they are built on millions of ideas people had before you. Having an idea and claiming it is “all yours” is like pissing into a river screaming “THIS RIVER IS ALL MINE”. It is megalomania. You merely voiced it or materialized it and this has to be taken into account by citation. If ideas could be possessed then two people could never have the same idea in two different parts of the world independantly. But they can, and often had. Ideas are thought, they can actually match each other fully. They do not exist in the material world. You can however possess a materialization of the idea.
How dumb is Sony anyhow? Employ the guy, give him a job at your company those are the most creative employees, let him do something crazy like a PSP that actually encourages modding.
Just another degenerated multi-billion dollar company.
QFFT
You modified those jeans by adding holes to the knees, that is an illegal fashion modification, if you want jeans with holes in them, you have to buy them that way.
You can own a word, an image, a logo or an idea. It’s not a conspiracy; it’s to stop some guy going out and calling his company ‘Nintendo’ and selling to mistaken consumers.
To own an idea is a patent. Pretty important, it stops the market becoming flooded with identical products. Imagine you came up with a car that runs on water (If you actually have, er, well done 
). If a company decided to build that, would you be entitled to royalties? Of course you would, it’s your idea.
Anonymous to me are completely in love with their own image. They’re not protecting anyone or helping the average consumer. They’ve looked at a problem, decided they know best and started action to punish those responsible. So a minority group that passes judgement and takes action stands for freedom? Don’t make me fucking laugh. The vast majority of PS3 users don’t care about other os or root keys, but they’re the ones who suffer from pirate lobbies and DDoS attacks.
For one day some fat kid behind his computer screen has affected other people’s lives for a moral cause that his group has invented. That makes him feel big. While in reality it makes him pretty fucking pathetic
You’re right.
I did not think it through far enough. You are right about the fact that brands and patents can in fact protect individual freedom, the freedom of enterpreneurship for instance, they can also in a way protect the rights of customers, being a form of quality assurance. It’s probably just me and my chronic collectivism when it comes to wealth distribution. I will have to give it more thought.
But this is pretty hillarious, and also pretty scary.
Imagine you work for Sony, just some guy making a living, and an angry recluse phones your wife up. These people need the business end of a hammer
EDIT: But I suppose for the sake of fairness it’s a minority doing that
I would be like yo I had nothing to do with the lawsuit but I’ll tell you who does for 10 000 dollars
then give them a bogus name that redirects to a rickroll when you google it
Also, just because it loaded me on page 1… the psp design was far from perfect.
That was the idea I was going when I brought up copyright infringement (Thank you to the person who corrected me). While I agree with modifying your ps3 is your perogetive, I’m not so sure about helping people untrustworthy do the same thing. it’s as the saying goes, the road to hell is paved with good intentions.
Who the fuck said anything about fpss?
How about the platformers (or any other type of game) with shitty autocams? Medieval really pissed me off because of the constant snapping back and forth of the camera when I tried to do…anything.
There is a very simple solution to that, the dev shouldn’t fuck up the auto cam.
We shouldn’t have to pay for their bullshit mistakes. I’d rather control the camera if they can’t, and that’s just what I’ll do now.
If you don’t to pay for mistakes then don’t buy the game 
Patch said game if you bought it already
I need to play it to know there are mistakes. Since handheld rentals are… nonexistent I can’t very well do this without making a purchase.
