New Sony PSN ToS: Class Action Waiver Included

Posted by timothy on 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)."

    Time to go for a class action lawsuit for trying to make us waive our right to a class action lawsuit. Sony can burn in hell.

      All it takes is one good judge to declare that crap unconscionable and unenforcable. ESPECIALLY since it's blatantly a try to protect their asses after setting off multiple class-action suits that are already on the books in which the only possible outcome is Sony getting their asses handed to them in court.

      Where are you going to find a good judge?

    It is surprising how a company that used to be regarded as the highest quality whatever-it-was-trying-to-sell can now have the level of respect usually afforded used car salesmen.

    Of course you can. If you hire enough lawyers almost anything is legal. Notice how no one at Sony has gone to jail for hacking thousands of computers with their rootkit. However, if I just hacked one Sony computer, what do you expect would happen?

    The US government plainly does not care about the law, or its citizens. All they care about is pleasing powerful corporations and well connected individuals.
