Anonymous attacks sites related to Sony

Anonymous has complied with its threats and being subjected to various Internet sites related to the company Sony to a denial of service (increased demands for access to a site to flood your server.) The group believes that Sony has abused the judicial system in an attempt to censor information on how their products work, what he considers an attack on freedom of expression.

The trigger has been initiated prosecution against Geohot Sony, a hacker who published a release system (jailbreak) PlayStation3 console. A San Francisco judge ordered the owner of the site to remove any information on systems of "piracy" of the console. When 21 year old behind GeoHot ordered to deliver the supplies available to the said tool related to Sony.


In its application, Sony had invoked the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) that prohibits the release of the tools to protect a system. However, this principle was qualified last year by the U.S. Congress recognizing the impasse in the case that used to use other software on the device not provided by the manufacturer, if it were not pirated copies, or to facilitate interoperability .

Sony has admitted problems in several places. Some media say that the threats from some members of Anonymous are extended to employees of the company.
