Yeah, like Apple is strugggling with their AppStore, Microsoft is having a lot of problems with Xbox Live Marketplace, and Nintendo's WiiWare is dying, all because of those hackers... Seriously, the law can say anything about jailbreaking but as long as your system has REAL security (instead of constants in key places, seriously Sony, WTF...) there should be no problem... I support doing to your bought hardware whatever you want, at your own risk, if the console bricks, if they ban you from online, etc. that's on you... And people that use those mods to piracy (which is illegal) or to ruining other people's gaming experience deserve what they get... But why i have to apologize or get prosecuted for 1. Buying a product (hardware), 2. Doing mods to it, 3. Sharing my knowledge about modding it??? Did i steal something??? no, did i share info about stealing something??? no (although, that's not entirely illegal), did i cheat online??? no... So i did nothing wrong... |
err actually,
you bought the hardware but your "mods" are to the software which you do NOT own. just because i bought windows doesn't mean i have the right to distribute the software to anyone and everyone i want to. that is most definetly illegal. if you want to do something like that pony up the 8 Billion or whatever dollars it would cost to buy windows.
sony's firmware is no different -- you don't own it -- you don't have the right to modify it.
if you want to replace it with something else (i.e. linux) go right ahead though. oh wait, that's right, you used to be able to do that until the hackers couldn't leave well enough alone...
