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.

This is why they have detectors at doors, it does that for them so they dont have to.

So heres a real analogy for you If i make a nifty gadget that charges my cell phone wirelessly while in my pocket and it also allows any nonscanned electronical device to not be detected at the front of bestbuy through their shoplifting detectors by your accord this product, since this product which i most certainly made for the latter, also includes a legal and legit application, my intent and illegal use of it is rendered irrelavent?

I cant believe people are acting like this wasnt developed for the the sole purpose of pirating things.
