you have one very odd moral compass.

As for what you can do can do with the things you purchase, like your ps3. Look to your user license agreement.

PLEASE READ THIS SYSTEM SOFTWARE LICENSE AGREEMENT CAREFULLY TO UNDERSTAND YOUR RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS.

ACCESS TO OR USE OF THE SYSTEM SOFTWARE IN THE SONY COMPUTER ENTERTAINMENT INC. ("SCE")'S PlayStation®3 COMPUTER ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM UNIT ("PS3™ system") IS EXPRESSLY CONDITIONED UPON ACCEPTANCE OF THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT.

This Agreement is a contract with SCE. This Agreement applies to any system software or firmware included in the PS3™ system, and any patches, updates, upgrades, or new versions of the system software or firmware provided to or made available for your PS3™ system through any SCE service or online network, SCE website or PS3™ system game disc (software is collectively, "System Software").

As for what you can do with it, it says that in there too!

2. RESTRICTIONS

You may not lease, rent, sublicense, publish, modify, adapt, or translate any portion of the System Software. To the fullest extent permitted by law, you may not reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble any portion of the System Software, or create any derivative works, or otherwise attempt to create System Software source code from its object code. You may not (i) use any unauthorized, illegal, counterfeit, or modified hardware or software in connection with the System Software, including use of tools to bypass, disable, or circumvent any encryption, security, or authentication mechanism for the PS3™ system; (ii) violate any laws, regulations or statutes, or rights of SCE, its affiliated companies, or third parties in connection with your access to or use of the System Software, including the access, use, or distribution of any software or hardware that you know or should have known to be infringing or pirated; (iii) use any hardware or software to cause the System Software to accept or use unauthorized, illegal, or pirated software or hardware; (iv) obtain the System Software in any manner other than through SCE's authorized distribution methods; or (v) exploit the System Software in any manner other than to use it in your PS3™ system in accordance with the accompanying documentation and with authorized software or hardware, including use of the System Software to design, develop, update, or distribute unauthorized software or hardware for use in connection with the PS3™ system for any reason. Without limiting the scope of SCE's remedies, any violation of these restrictions will void the PS3™ system's warranty and affect your ability to obtain warranty services and repair services from SCE or its affiliated companies.

So whether you like it or not you do not own 100% of your ps3. Now whether you choose to ignore that fact is up to you.

And they have every right to protect their intrests just like you would if you were in their shoes.

You really need to read more. Notice that the only consequences of doing everything listed in that paragraph is that I will not be able to obtain warranty/repair service. So really, where exactly does it say I can't do anything I want in the PS3.

I also agree that they should pretect their interests, however the way they are doing is totally wrong. I haven't done anything wrong yet with the PS3, but now I am gonna do everything I can to keep all the features on the PS3, and it seems thare are already ways in existance. So all in all, SONY just blew a lot of steam and maybe got a lawsuit on its hands. Then again, this is SONY with their rootkit bullshit back in the day so maybe this isn't as unforseen as I thought it would be.

i only posted a couple of parts (because its a huge piece of literature) if you want consequences, here ya go

7. TERMINATION

If SCE determines that you have violated the terms of this Agreement, SCE may take all actions to protect its interests, including denial of any services such as warranty services and repair services provided for your PS3™ system and termination of your access to PlayStation®Network, implementation of upgrades or devices intended to discontinue unauthorized use, or reliance on any other remedial efforts as reasonably necessary to prevent the use of a modified PS3™ system, or any pirated material or equipment. SCE and its licensors reserve the right to bring legal action in the event of a violation of this Agreement. SCE reserves the right to participate in any government or private legal action or investigation relating to your conduct.

And yea its sucks to loose it but they for whatever reason felt they had to. And feel free to do whatever you want with your ps3 but i am sure if they want it off they will do all they can to keep it out. And as far as lawsuits go, they have themselves covered. Since they figured out what needed to be done to make that geo guys hack null-in-void.
