All I can say is what I have said to my friends.
How much control do you think a multi million corporation like Sony is going to have over the media?
Anonymous (Anon) told Sony that they had enough of Sony ripping it's customers off, in light of the lawsuit against George Hotz (GeoH0t).
Basically telling Sony, that once someone has purchased an item, then they should be free to do with it what they wanted as it is theirs.
But Sony threw the book of the law towards GeoH0t, because he manages to hack the PS3 firmware and made that info available for free on the internet.
Anon is hacking to show Sony that the customers should not be taken for idiots, thus I find it hard to believe that they would abuse the information they are accused to have taken.
it may be just power play from Anon to show what they are capable of, it may be Sony flexing their media muscle to make the hackers look evil, who knows.
I know that my bank is really very good at spotting unusual spending on my account, caught it before, so I don't really worry about it.
Time will tell what the real truth is.
