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. I went into a store and BOUGHT the PS3. I did not lease it. I am not renting it. It is not loaned to me by SONY.

I bought it. I OWN it. I can put whatever I want into it and take whatever I want out of it.

If I am pirating  games and breaking the law, go ahead and try and get me there. Don't try to get me because I got it to do things it couldn't before. 

 

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.

This is to Trios as well:

Look, I know where you're both coming from, and trust me, I agree with a lot of what you said (and I even stated I hope Sony lose the case, and instead figure out a way of dealing with this without screwing us over).

But Euphoria I will NOT condone from the hackers is to spread the keys for others to start cheating online. I didn't pay money only to play single player games.

That is not fighting for rights. No, that's just another way of screwing us innocent consumers over.

And on another note: What about the Terms of Service?

It is SONY's job to stop the people abusing online.

This kind of stuff has been happening on PC and 360 for years.

 

In order to gain additional security you will need to forfeit something.
