PlayStation Network hacking lawsuit largely dismissed
According to Courthouse News, US District Judge Anthony Battaglia dismissed charges including negligence, restitution and unjust enrichment.
He also cleared Sony of violations of California consumer protection laws "because none of the named plaintiffs subscribed to premium PSN services, and thus received the PSN services free of cost."
He went on to dismiss a bailment charge because "plaintiffs freely admit, plaintiffs' personal information was stolen as a result of a criminal intrusion of Sony's Network. Plaintiffs do not allege that Sony was in any way involved with the Data Breach."
Additionally, while Sony is accused of misrepresenting the quality of its protections, Battaglia noted that all PSN users signed a Sony Privacy Policy that included "clear admonitory language that Sony's security was not 'perfect,'" therefore "no reasonable consumer could have been deceived."
Battaglia gave the class the option to amend its claims for injunctive relief and violation of consumer protection law.

Oasis That's a bit unfair, even though they don't pay for a premium service surely they paid for the upkeep of secure data when they paid for the console.
I completely agree with you.
