IF IT IS DISTRIBUTED ILLEGALLY THEN OF COURSE HE IS LIABLE!

Are you retarded?

I advise learning what terms mean before you throw them around, buddy. 

First off, if this was "illegal" it wouldn't be Sony suing, but the government, since prosecutions are handled by the state and not by individuals. 

Second, and more germane to our discussion here, it's far from clear that this distribution is wrongful to begin with.  In the most on-point case so far, jailbreaking one's property has been held to be a legitimate use of hardware by both the regulating federal agency and a court of law, even when that process permitted users to pirate software and break the hardware maker's monopoly over that platform.

In conclusion, learn what you're talking about before accusing others of being mentally challenged.


Read the analogy genius.
