I am perfectly aware you can have some fun applications with this..however within the last few days we have seen several games already being pirated and played thanks to this hacker/s. Heck I saw a video of a ps3 playing Donkey Kong, this is in no way good for the industry, especially in these horrible economic conditions WW.

The problem you have is that you're calling for a man to be held legally responsible for the crimes of others. It is akin to saying that a markmanship instructor should be held liable if any of his students becomes a murderer. That does not fly. Not morally, and certainly not legally.

the analogy you provided was overly simplistic and as you said imperfect. Let me use the same line of thought and give you the opposite end of the outcome. A guy distributes weapons, which he made without permission, to the masses. You can definitely use it to defend yourself, shoot a fly and enter the guinness and be famous BUT this will lead to more harm than good. As yours this is by no means perfect. But like I said for a few neat tricks I won't support piracy, doesn't matter which console it is.

You're actually providing a better analogy, for my purposes, than I did. The gun distributor in question would not be held liable. In fact, gun manufacturers are NOT held liable for crimes committed with their products.

IF IT IS DISTRIBUTED ILLEGALLY THEN OF COURSE HE IS LIABLE!
Are you retarded?
