Amazing that people are so narrow minded that they could possibly think Sony should win this case. Does it suck that people have used this information to hack MW2 and possibly pirate other games, yes. So you go after the ones doing the actual damage, the ones actually breaking the law. The DMCA attempts to make it illegal to do something that is not illegal. Using your own property how you see fit is not illegal. Because Hotz and others were able to find a way to use their PS3s for other things than what Sony wants is NOT illegal. If someone uses that information to do something illegal, then you go after them, not the guy that provides the information. How is this any different than if I sell you a gun and show you how to use it, and you go shoot someone. You should get arrested, not me. As for the future outcome, the courts are already bought and paid for by corporate money, so I have no doubt that Sony will win. And many idiots on here will celebrate. |
Like i said before, if it was 5-8 years ago i would have agreed with this. But the fact is that it is like you teach thousands of people how to use a gun, not just one person. And it would be like teaching invisible people, who can barely get caught. Obviously there is a flaw in teaching them to use guns. He published the keys and he knew the consequences it would have on the network. And thinking that the courts are paid by corporate money is just wrong because its not true. Corporations lose all the time.
