People should be on more of a "protect our consumer rights" approach.

If I do not really own the PS3 to the point where I could do what I want then I want my $600 back.

 

Also, a case like this may one day down the road cause things like your car to only be able to be fixed with specific brand parts and anything else could result in a fine.

Or anything along those lines. 

Nobody should be supporting SONY and their bullshit being brought about in this case.

 

Too bad, Geohot released the Keys. The keys are nothing but numbers. SONY can not own numbers.

Should you be able to run games you don't own on the PS3? Should you be able to run bots and hack games on PSN?

No sony can't own 'numbers', however sony does own the intellectual property that runs the PS3. You do not have the right to steal that intellectual property and distribute it to others. Geohot is nothing more than a glorified thief.

I'm sorry, did Geohot pirate anything? What did he steal?

He has to steal something first before you call him a thief.

Is he an attention whore? Yes. 

Is he a thief? Absolutely not.

 

If not then you are of the party that thinks anything unrelated to PS3 and/or SONY should be punishable by law, which includes modding.

If so then happy future where you have no consumer rights because you will only bring it upon yourself.
