If he was hacking for hacking sake,  then why did he distribute it?  He knew what would happen when he did,  he just couldnt say so for fear of legal actions.  And he created this custom firmware just so his previous hack would still work.   He knew what he was doing, he was opening up the floodgates for piracy on the PS3, Please Stop protecting that douchebag.  

 

I don't support hacking or pirating games, and even if piracy was fully possible on PS3 I wouldn't take part in it, but your entire outlook is beyond me.

Sony is a corporation that exists for no other reason than to maximize their profit at your expense.  Geohot is a guy who spent his free time making it possible for you to get free stuff.  I agree that one of these two parties is a douchebag, but it is most assuredly not geohot.

Congratulations for writing the dumbest post of the day.

You're a pitiful child.  I'm dumb because I do not support a massive multinational corporation which, in hundreds of ways, conspires to profit at the expense of both consumers and artists?  I am not just talking about the Playstation division here.  I am talking about Sony music, Sony Pictures and the MPAA, and dozens of other ways in which Sony has shortchanged consumers to maximize their own profits.  Even the Playstation division is run by people who are on record denigrating the intelligence of their own customer base, although that is a minor crime compared to the activities of their other divisions.

 

Geohot is...  a guy, like me or you, who might I add did all of this hacking free of charge and with no plans or attempts to profit from it.  Whether you agree with piracy or not, no one is forcing you to pirate games, in fact I'm quite glad you aren't going to, but defending Goliath against David and then calling me an idiot is really beyond the pale.
