If this guy was "smart" he would have sold his technique to the chinese and become a multimillionaire over night.  Instead he gave it away free and will probably be broke the rest of his life.  No matter if he wins or not, he will have to spend whatever money he has on lawyers and Sony can and will drag this out as long as they possibly can just to make this poor bastard pay.  Even though they know they will probably lose this case.  "Apple has already went down this road and lost".

I really don't understand a lot of these posts in here about the guy doing this all for Pirating.  He has stated over and over that the onlything he wanted to do was have homebrew on the PS3.  Sony took out Linux and they should have known that was a big mistake.  Where there is a will there is a way and I think that has been proven now. So instead of just having linux and homebrew, they have that and the ability for millions to pirate games.

While I do not pirate games, I will probably end up "hacking" my console to add a truly epic media center (Like the old XBMC on the original xbox).  The original xbmc was awesome, and I dare say that the one that eventually comes out for the ps3 will be awe inspiring.  I am also guessing that there will be a better browser coming as well.  Only time will tell what kind of awesome sauce is made.  And I can't wait.

What If someone copies the key to YOUR house and sells it on the web for free. He's doesn't want to hurt you and he's not responsible what others do with the keys. Is this ok for you?

Worst analogy EVER !
