That fact is he was robbed of his time having to deal with all that. And it doesn't mean it can't happen again, with the cops being a bit more careful about covering their tracks. The case was resolved, to an extent, in his favor, this time. We are in a police state, and it's world wide. It's just a matter of degree.
People are easily confused into acting against their own best interests. The phenomenon is common in every large collective action. Happens every election cycle also with the fantastic reelection rates.
I can't understand how anyone...
Sure you can. It's plain old crowd psychology. Some people know how to work it.
Something tells me the network admins for that government department must have been doing the same thing, or were incompetent, or playing WoW (or maybe some hellish combination).
In Sony's case, they can just saw off the dead branch, and the tree thrives.. I'm sure that with their broad stock portfolio, they have little to worry about. You'd have to boycott a lot of different products if you want them to feel even the smallest annoyance.
Gee, thanks for ruining my pedantic moment... and yes, I am aware of the various alloys and cladding, and such, and then, if we painted the aircraft, we'd throw on some zinc chromate primer as an added touch...
I will be impressed if I can cure cancer by washing my hands. If you overlook the dramatics in the original post, I believe you will understand what I'm saying.
That's why they should completely pull out. There's nothing "political" about this. It's a public relations gamble to make a another fast million. Chances are it'll work.

They shouldn't.. Speech is noise.. Any laws regulating speech should pertain only to the decibel level. Never the content..
If the law cannot distinguish between speech and action, then it is a failure.

Aluminum doesn't rust. It corrodes.
It's too bad slashdot doesn't employ anyone with journalism or editing experience...
Hooah!
I'll give about as long as the Unisphere..
On every day night must fall..
Yeh, but it's the erasers that'll bust the bank.

Yeah, it sure would be nostalgic to hear those old Connies flying overhead again.
Ever hear of the "Year Without a Summer"?
Don't play that game with me. Only the Chinese government is responsible for what it does.
That's complete and utter bullshit. Google can't be held responsible for the actions of the Chinese government.
How much? Cuz for a whole bunch of people like me, every single medical advance means squat.
The state (of any nation) has no business limiting any speech, unless it is slanderous.
That statement contradicts itself. Even slanderous speech harms no one, until someone acts..
Troll?? Prove me wrong assholes!

If you are in a minority that believes Child Porn is OK and Hate speech is OK...
I don't believe those things are OK, but I do know that censorship is much worse. Find another way to deal with the problem..
Because this whole act is basically a PR stunt.
