we shouldn't support pirating....I sure as heck don't, and geohot and co. has opened the door for that. For a few conveniences I will not support pirating sorry.

The problem is that this method has several other, perfectly legal and legitimate, applications as well.  Just because something "opens the door" for piracy, it does not give a copyright holder the right to terminate the consumer's rights. 

To give you a rough and imperfect analogy, pockets can be used to shoplift.  Therefore, merchants should have the right to ban people with pockets from entering their store, or at least be able to search your pockets when you leave their premises.
