I wonder how this guy hasn't been cought yet.. I mean isn't what he is doing illegal

How is it illegal? He's using an exploit on his own system. If he used that exploit to his advantage on other people's systems, then yes it would be illegal.

It would be the same if you hacked your own PC.

but his goal is to release pirated games, and open the system up for implimintation, and this is with EVERY ps3, clearly he is a pirate, and clearly that is his goal. How is that not illegal?

Actually, some people hack stuff for the challenge.

You should not convict people on the belief that you think you know what they will do next.

Would he be boasting about his hack if he clearly wanted to pirate games, or kept it to himself?
