Sony Sued For PlayStation Network Data Breach

suraj.sun writes "Like clockwork, the first lawsuit resulting from the security breach of the personal data of more than 75 million Sony PlayStation Network customers has been filed. The suit was filed today on behalf of Kristopher Johns, 36, of Birmingham, Ala., in the US District Court for the Northern District of California. Johns accuses Sony of not taking 'reasonable care to protect, encrypt, and secure the private and sensitive data of its users.' He also believes Sony took too long to notify him and other customers that their personal information had been exposed. Because of that, the complaint alleges, Sony did not allow its customers 'to make an informed decision as to whether to change credit card numbers, close the exposed accounts, check their credit reports, or take other mitigating actions.'"

Good FUCKING Grief...

These people, both the Lawyer Whores *AND* the shills they round up for their money making schemes, are as bad as or worse that Patent Trolls.

It's an abuse of the legal system, nothing more than a money grab.

In a country where corporations like Sony effectively own lawmakers, criminal remedies are impossible. Civil cases involving "lawyer whores" are the only recourse allowed (short of vigilantism).

So you're ethically OK misusing the US Legal System for no other reason than to fuck Sony out of some money you really do not deserve, because you don't like them? I would say you are ethically challenged.
