You know, usually I try to defend Anonymous, but when their defense of "free speech" has to ruin things for everyone else, they really need to step back and plan things out a bit more. And the whole thing is just getting a bit silly. All they do now is bully and attack anyone they don't like, hide behind their anonymity, then claim it was to defend "free speech," or at least their definition of it.

Anon picked a pretty serious fight this time. This isn't a church basement Scientology website. The events leading up to these attacks have demonstrated what Sony is willing to do to those who don't play by their rules.

You'd need a helluva lot more than that. This is a hacking group that takes pride in the fact that no one knows who they are. And it's internet based, so chances are, they're spread out all over the country, if not the planet. And mind you, learning to be a real hacker takes time. Lots of time. It's usually a year before the average hacker has figured out all their tools.
So if you were 18 and had a car, you'd be able to drive around aimlessly before realizing you're attempting to fight something that has no identity or set location.

This is Anonymous, they love to brag. If they did it, they would be up-front about it. But they didn't, they specifically said they even though they're going after Sony, the PSN is off-limits because they don't want to hurt Average Joe User.

It does. Halfway through the video they explain that they aren't going to hack the PSN unless they can find a way to do so without hurting the users, and that their fight is with Sony, not their customers.

So someone DID hack the PSN, but Sony shut it down themselves. Can we stop blaming people who aren't responsible for things now?

Im not blaming anyone..I could honestly care less if it was who everybody thinks it was or my cat. Either way sony got hacked and they shut down their servers to fix the problem. I don't see why anyone would get bent out of shape over someone calling out a group or individual.

Patiently waiting. I don't play much online anyway. The only thing I want to do is download the Dragon Age 2 demo. I had it before, but I erased it a few days ago to make memory room for the first Dragon Age game. I regret deleting it.

Anonymous says they didn't do it this time.
At this point I don't care who did it, as long as it comes back up soon.

I would hope that they could post some new demos, addons, whatnot when it does get back up.
Also,
I heard Likwid's cat is the one that hacked the PSN.

Why is this happening exactly? Someone hacked the network to do what now? And who is anonymous and what role are they having in this?
