They can investigate all they want but they have no legal right to take any sort of action other than try to provide a patch to stop this. Even if the hack is distributed they can't take action, as long as its distributed for free.

Sony is prolly quick on their feet when it comes to hacking and piracy considering the debacle that the PSP was.

He's aiding piracy. That's illegal.

If you're right, it's a very strange law. It's like making it illegal to manufacture knives because it aids murder.

Methinks that the "laws", or results of legal cases, regarding console hacking would be very different if it weren't for the fact that hackers hardly ever have enough money to defend themselves in court. It certainly wouldn't be the case that console modders get convincted for doing things that allow people to commit the crime.
