The funny thing is that, for about 7 or so months, we succeded. Softmod piracy was impossible on the Wii using our exploits from about the October 23rd update to the release of BootMii (which broke all security, period).

Unfortunately, the idiots at Nintendo were too busy patching our homebrew-only exploits to care about the hacky, ugly, crappy exploit that the piracy scene was using. Sadly, to this date, this exploit remains unpatched. It truly seems like they’re too stupid to care about what piracy actually depends on. They just keep trying to Stop the Evil Homebrew Channel.

They had a chance at 7 extra months of a soft-piracy-free console (possibly more if they’d bothered to establish an amicable relationship with us, instead of harassing bushing). They didn’t take it.

Now, the Sony situation is just wrong. Sony have shot themselves in the foot in the worst possible way, not only by encouraging cracking their system by removing Other OS, but by actively pissing off former homebrew/OtherOS users. If there’s something that guarantees that homebrew developers won’t give a damn about whether they enable piracy or not, it’s illegally depriving them of the features they paid for.

Dear Greedy Motherfuckers SONY,

Congratulations! You are now receiving the attention of Anonymous. Your recent legal actions against fellow internet citizens, GeoHot and Graf_Chokolo have been deemed an unforgivable offense against free speech and internet freedom, primary sources of free lulz (and you know how we feel about lulz.)

You have abused the judicial system in an attempt to censor information about how your products work. You have victimized your own customers merely for possessing and sharing information, and continue to target those who seek this information. In doing so you have violated the privacy of thousands of innocent people who only sought the free distribution of information. Your suppression of this information is motivated by corporate greed and the desire for complete control over the actions of individuals who purchase and use your products, at least when those actions threaten to undermine the corrupt stranglehold you seek to maintain over copywrong, oops, "copyright".

Your corrupt business practices are indicative of a corporate philosophy that would deny consumers the right to use products they have paid for, and rightfully own, in the manner of their choosing. Perhaps you should alert your customers to the fact that they are apparently only renting your products? In light of this assault on both rights and free expression, Anonymous, the notoriously handsome rulers of the internet, would like to inform you that you have only been "renting" your web domains. Having trodden upon Anonymous' rights, you must now be trodden on.

If you disagree with the disciplinary actions against your private parts domains, then we trust you can also understand our motivations for these actions. You own your domains. You paid for them with your own money. Now Anonymous is attacking your private property because we disagree with your actions. And that seems, dare we say it, "wrong." Sound familiar?

Let Anonymous teach you a few important lessons that your mother forgot:
1. Don't do it to someone else if you don't want it to be done to you.
2. Information is free.
3. We own this. Forever.

As for the "judges" and complicit legal entities who have enabled these cowards: You are no better than SONY itself in our eyes and remain guilty of undermining the well-being of the populace and subverting your judicial mandate.


We are Anonymous.
We are Legion.
We do not Forgive.
We do not Forget.
Expect us.
