Sony Sued Over PSN 'No Suing' Provision

An anonymous reader writes with this excerpt from the Examiner: "In a grand dose of irony today, Sony was sued over a term in the PlayStation Network's End User Agreement that states that users cannot sue Sony. These terms were added in September, after a long string of Sony hacks (the official count is that Sony got broken into 17 times in a space of about 2 months), which included a massive outage of the PlayStation Network itself. The suit that was filed today is a class action suit for all of those who bought a PS3 and signed up for the PSN before the September update to the EULA. The suit also claims that this is a unfair Business practice on Sony's part, and requires users to forgo their rights in order to use the device that they purchased."

It's not a subjective opinion. While I could probably use it too, I still don't go out to buy screwdriver when I want to hit nails to a wall.

Re:The Supremes already ruled on this

I didn't know that the Supremes actually had any weight on this...

(Hint: It's the Supreme Court. The Supremes is a vocal group....use the proper naming and terminology...)

As it stands...a Liberal majority Supreme Court wouldn't have ruled any differently. Seriously. It might've even done worse- they've been known to nuke real rights instead of this stuff. You know, things like waving a wand and erasing aspects of the Bill of Rights illegally. That sort of thing.

If you think that Liberal or Conservative means anything other than flip sides of the same rotten corrupted coin, you're kidding yourself and lying to everyone including yourself.
