I feel like most of the people in this thread didn't read the entire article and stopped short of where they mention that hackers have been a good thing for consumers and the videogame industry and that Sony was in a moral grey area for taking out Other OS.

Of course they didn't read the entire thing. Everyone knows that every single hackers is only in it for piracy and not about opening up game modding options, homebrew apps, adding console functionality, etc...

 

People seem to lump all hackers/modders into this "piracy" group and it is quite ignorant of them to do so.

I like the "but some people are going to use it for piracy even if the people who made it soley for homebrew aren't."

That's like saying the people who make Advil shouldn't do it because some people kill themselves by taking Advil.

I just like the "Rah rah rah go article saying sony was right" when in reality the article was neither supporting or condemning either side... it just started off with the "A lot of hackers are bad" part to build up credibility for the second part of the article which shows that there is no cut and dry "right or wrong" in this situation outside of the moral grey area Sony is in which is laregly unneeded.  It's a writing style that's sorely lacking on the internet, mostly because people tend to not read whole articles anymore... if they agree with the first few paragraphs, they cheer and say "I was right" and stop, and if they don't like the first few they say "He doesn't know what he's talking about!" and stop reading.

 

Now thinking about it, I think they should remove knives from all kitchen drawers because some people use them for violent reasons.

 

Even if everyone doesn't read and end up saying whatever mumbo jumbo they wish I just figured I should share it since I found it to be a very good read.
