Toronto law firm, McPhadden Samac Tuovi LLC, has started a proposed class action suit against Sony USA, Sony Canada, Sony Japan – in fact anything with Sony in its title. The plaintif is a 21yr old Mississauga resident, Natasha Maksimovic. Natasha is claiming in excess of $1 billion as she is suffering from “fear, anxiety (and) emotional distress” and also the costs of insurance and credit monitoring services for two years.
“If you can’t trust a huge multinational corporation like Sony to protect your private information, who can you trust?” asked Ms. Maksimovic via a press release.
I don’t know my dear, but you must be utterly terrified to be in need of $1 billion for emotional distress, I’m suprised you managed to hold a pen long enough to write your press release.
P.S. If you are reading this Ms. Maksimovic….. BOO!

In that case I’m suing for having to write about the PSN for the last two weeks. Plus the mental anguish of all the angry comments :oD £2 billion would do fine, I’m not greedy.

I would be amazed if $2 billion would even cover the cost of “insurance and credit monitoring services” for two years. I do not believe you could get that such low low price.
I have tried MoneySupperMarket CompareThemMarket uSwitch Confued. No where can find cheaper then $2 billion for 2 years.
How can she do it?

What made me laugh was that she wanted not only the $1bn, but also the “costs of insurance and credit monitoring services for two years”.
Will the billion not cover that? *sigh*

Does this remind anybody of the Austin Powers Scene
Ms. Maksimovic: Sony, I demand you take care of my information better and because you were hacked into to cover my emotional stress I demand……
[emphasis]
Ms. Maksimovic: one hundred billion dollars.
Sony: **** Off

I think time sue them as well, it in thing.
Whilst at it think I might sue Microsoft for all times lost my work because BSD, Apple well do really need a reason when there founder is Steve Jobs.
Think also might sue “The Internet” for hackers.
I can not take it any more, I think I need at least $150 trillion.

Can’t believe this, very sad indeed.

As I said elsewhere…
Meh. She’s Canadian. Presumably that’s a billion Canadian dollars. Which is about £25.

Hey don’t diss our currency! It’s actually at par with the US dollar right now, which would put the total amount at … 40 pounds.

Dear Natasha. We are very sorry that your emotions are distressed and are prepared to compensate you the full value of your emotions, in case you need to have them replaced. As a good will gesture we have rounded the compensation up and hope you will accept this as our apology.
Yours truly
Sony
Enclosed $1
