SONY's OS doesn't have to be modified to allow the use of homebrew and/or pirated software.

People just use the keys to sign their own software.

Geohot had to dig into the software to get the keys. He then distributed said info. People are now using said info to do both legal and illegal things.

So did he commit theft or infringement?

You keep calling him a thief but I just can't see it.

Meh whatever. He 'infringed' the software and 'stole' the keys.

Hey man, you told me to go learn laws and I hit you back with laws that state your stance on him being a thief is wrong. 

It's all fair game.

The keys also are not owned since they are only numbers. I am pretty sure people have tried that case before and each time lost the case. He stole nothing.

 

SONY can go ahead and take him to small claims court. No way they are going to win this battle.
