I wonder what else this guy does for a living. And, is he not concerned about criminal charges?

He isn't doing anything ilegal, it's what you do with an exploited system that actually breaks the law. Why is the PSP still being hacked? Because Sony can't do a damn thing about it, that's why.

again, not true everywhere. There are multiple countries that have passed anti DRM-breaking laws. In fact, I just checked and he is located in the US, which I already pointed out the DMCA law.

And of course how many times has that law been tested and what exactly does it cover? Code specifically to break CSS encryption was found to be illegal but modifications to run unsigned code was not. Jailbreaking an iPhone is not illegal however SELLING a modified OSX to run on PC Hardware is. One thing about the DRM laws is that many of them have to deal with making a profit or selling on circumvention of DRM like DVDxCopy. Kalodiscape won their case under the same laws when they were sued by the MPAA for circumventing their DRM(a case I worked on). law isn't simple ot understand. However from I have read of this exploit it didn't break any law.
