Well the problem is whether you want to put your head in the sand on purpose or not we all know why this "homebrew" was made. You only break it down to the fundamental level because we all know why he did it and it wasnt for legal reasons, so thats really the lamest argument for this guy and others like him. Its not like he upped his toasters wattage to cook bagels faster and voided the warrenty, he created malicious software with the intent on playing games for free, no sense in trying to mask it as anything different.
If im not mistaken, 3rd parties and such file requests to develop software for the PS3, sony gets royalties IE they control what goes in and thsu out of the PS3 brand/image. If this person created alterations with the intent on bypassing the legal purchase of software (which he did) then there are not only terms violations im sure with the PSN and online connectivity (which there are) but also with the fact that the aforementioned software that will eventually be pirated falls on Sonys doorsteps.
Ill supply an analogy, if i make a meth lab in my basement but dont make meth, i build and supply the lab but my brother uses it an dmakes it im still guilty for "opening the door" so to speak. You think i can go in front of a jury or judge and defend myself, say "its my property, i bought these tubes and this legal equipment, got the burners legally i cant help that he made the stuff"?
The bottom line is this douche and other people whose intent for doing these things hurts potential sales in an industry that sorely needs it and people depend on to feed their families, that should be enough for any civilized, logical and mature human being to not support this guy or any other people like him.
