By doing so Sony gains the right the to moniter your actions with their product. You have privacy to an extent, but if they see a PS3 that isn't acting right. Whether it's modified or using software that is not made by them or licensed by them, they will shut down access to in online services the PS3 uses and legal action will be taken. Now I only read the English version, but i'm sure it's the same in all languages. |
They can block the online services and whatnot, but obviously the hackers will develop protection from that.
As for the legal action...Sony's "Terms of Service, User Agreement Form" is not a legally binding contract. If you break it they have no grounds to take any legal action. So legal action will not be taken.
