New PSN TOS agreement includes a clause for binding arbitration and prohibits joining a class action. You can opt out by sending a letter to Sony within 30 days of signiing the agreement. Shenanigans made possible by the Roberts Supreme court.
There’s one class action from the Other OS removal and two from the PSN breach. Sony was just regaining good will after the PSN debacle and they pull this.
Quite high if they create another piece of malware to try to prevent people from copying their stuff.
I mean, if you qualify, why not join every class action lawsuit that you are informed of? It takes little effort and allows you to be part of distributing justice to someone who has wrongly used a large number of people. And, hey, you might get a few bucks out of it, too.
The only reason not to join is if you actually think you can sue them on your own. It makes me wonder why corporation went along with class action suits in the first place.
Didn’t Sony recently have a breach that exposed customers’ financial or identifying data to hackers? Eventually there will be lawsuits when those sorts of things happen, because some company is going to be found to have been negligent about security. It may be Sony. And then what?
Are you at all familiar with how arbitration works in this country? You can shrug, but arbitration is a reasonable means of settling adversarial disputes between individuals and huge multinational corporations like the Statue of Liberty is purple and plays “Hakuna Matata” every hour on the half hour.
