There is a point when people should get over them self and your at that point , you lowered the tone and turned this thread into something else with your analogy and now act the offended , Oh please .

I'd rather not get over myself. I'd rather you stopped having a pop at me when you don't seem to know what you actually think yourself.

I'm sorry if the analogy offends you. It wasn't meant to, and it isn't offensive to refer to it. It is offensive to claim however that you don't like the analogy with reference to how many women "ask fir it" by changing their mind. I'm still awaiting the condemnation of that remark.

The point is theft is theft. You get over it.

The analogy used is so vastly more complicated and misplaced with regards Sony outage on a legal and emotional level, where one person can be accused of rape simply by age difference even when both consent and into recognised psychopathic behaviour. Hence why sentencing for this crime is so varied. Its worrying the empathy shown for theft of data can be compared to a violent crime. There is much more appropriate analogy that could be used, such as starting your car and leaving it to defrost unattended which results in the car being stolen, the police will investigate to a point, however you will get very little out of the insurance company because you the owner of that car have responsibility. Compare that to someone forcing their way into the home taking the car key and stealing the car, I have feeling that this theft will be taken far more seriously by the police and insurance company, quite simply theft is not theft. As for the Sony debacle, for me they drew a big great target with regards on who owns the PS3 once purchased rattled the nest and got a very nasty sting with regard to modding. Compare Sony�s stance to Microsoft, who actively encourage the modding of Kinnect, from the individual to NASA. Also deal with pirated games, in my mind the correct way. Of course the access of user�s information myself included was illegal. Indeed I strongly believe the well known protest against Sony in the form of DDoS attacks due to their stance on modding and the accesses of the information are very separate. However was that information stored safely and in the correct manner which Sony is fully responsible.
