I have to admit, I love watching fights between hackers and companies.

I don't take sides - I admit that some hackers want to bring in cool new features that don't harm Sony, and that some want to pirate games - I'll defend the first whilst simultaneously defending Sony's right to stop the later.

I think I like it cos it's either a david and goliath story, as in this case where the few take on the many (and usually win) or if enough people get behind it, it's an allegory for socialist revolution - power to the people and the means of production being transfered from the bourgeoisie to the proletariat.

Ubisoft's removal of DRM just recently in some games is equivalent to the Czar's elimination of serfdom. The new DRM they then introduced is analogous to the Czar's fatal decision to take back those newly granted rights. Ubisoft shall certainly be first against the wall.
