New Sony PSN ToS: Class Action Waiver Included

Posted by timothy on Thursday September 15, 2011 @04:34AM from the furthermore-and-hereuntoagain-be-it-resolved dept.

rwven writes "Yesterday Sony sent an email to PlayStation Network members regarding a change in the Terms of Service for PSN. When agreeing to this new terms of service, you must waive your rights to a class action suit against Sony. I, for one, will not be agreeing to any such thing. You can view section 15 of the new ToS here (PDF)."

Okay, sooo... who's up for a mass individual filing of, oh, say, 20,000 lawsuits?

About 12 people.

True. I never bought a used car with a rootkit.

Where are you going to find a good judge?
Depends. How much are you willing to spend?

I am German. And a lawyer. Only not your lawyer. German courts have declared that sex slavery and toilet slavery is legal with certain conditions. If you kidnap a girl, tie her up in your bathroom and make her eat poo, it is not legal. If girl agrees to be your toilet slave, it is legal contract, subject to contract laws and regulations.

Too bad I can't mod this "astounding".
