I bet nearly 95-98% of those affected, are right back into PSN like nothing really happened. Sure they bitch and moan to friends (who are likely ALSO back online), but they can now get back to their leaderboards and the world is okay again... after this long weekend, they'll have forgotten all about it. If you truly want to SEE change, you have to be willing to make some sacrifices.

If anything leaks out, it can cost them a whole lot of money. But, I tend to believe that the true way to go, would be copyleft/opensource with stronger price regulations (so that an invention copied in China can't cost less then when it's made in the US). But that, are dreams... :( The old mindset is based on copyright and company secrets. If anything leaks out, it can cost them a whole lot of money.

It's an old-fashioned mindset which doesn't work, and is not respected, in the modern Internet era. btw, I heard that the games Sony was giving away included Hacker, Uplink and System Shock...
