You know what would suck? If he used his daddy's PC to hack it.. :D

anyway glad I don't live in california cause apparently, buying a piece of hardware for $300 does not mean you own it and can do what you like with it, under California Law... >_>


true story -- i made a copy of your house key.  it's only a copy so it's not stealing and thus completely legal.  being the the freedom fighter i am i distributed that key to everyone in your neighboorhood.  how was i suppose to know that the guy who has been sent to jail 3 times already would use that key to break into your house, steal your shit, and rape your wife.  i mean, as i handed out the keys i told him not do that so i am of course completely blameless.

really, when you think about it this hole thing is your fault.  you should have known i was going to try and make copies of your household protection mechanisms.  you really should have had a more secure house.  i hope you learned your lesson.


best post ever.

 

...it seems to be quite popular with the anti-hacker crowd but i keep coming back to this thread to see if any of the pro-hacker crowd are going to respond.  looks like they will not be doing that...

Probably because it's a poor strawman arguement.  You are equating actual loss of items, with zero loss of property.

with the loss of billions of dollars in revenue. maybe the big tech companies should go out of business then hackers can go back to robbing banks and stilling identities, working for the mob.(ok a little far out there but you get the point).

the IP'S of these talented devlopers is property, and thats wht this hack constitutes and we all know it.

breaking into anything is wrong and should not be done.


You think they're the same people?    You do realize that hackers don't actual gain ANY benefits from the hacking they do right?  Outside being able to apply the same hacks to their products?

This hack by the way... doesn't even allow piracy. 

 

"breaking into anything is wrong".  I thought you were a democrat?   Your strange Neo-conservative view here is weird.

Should it be illegal to break into your own house?

liberal independent. gun rights and all. S&W 500's for all. carry them openly, but check for the crazy people

no i don't think they are the same people but they could be. in my eyes its the same thing. if Sony wanted the PS3 to be brokend into they would have knocked on the hackers front door and gave them the tools them selves.

i know hackers don't gain anything(and thats wht puzzles me as to why they do it.(i'd still like to learn the trade of hacking though its genious) but others can and thats the part that im not ok with.

the hack maynot allow piracy, but it can be modified to do so.

wasn't somebody arrested for that last yr? it was in the news!

Liberal Independent... but against a basic consumer rights case?

Uh..... what?  I mean, maybe your just not fully informed on the importance of this case to users rights... or something?

i mean, your even for carrying guns... despite the fact that it's not.

I mean you do know there are many legal reasons to hack a piece of hardware right?  I'm just having a hard time here, because your opinion is completely inconsistant with the rest of your stances.  It's like those Libretarians who want everything to be legal except gay marriage.

Also, yes, somebody was arrested for that last year... or it might of been the year before. 

well i don't know everything so i may be missing something. if it makes sense i'll back it up without prejudice. if you say something i can agree with when i involves hacking i'll back you up on that point.

the funny thing is that gay marriage is an issue i bypassed and don't consider an issue for me to get into  and abortion rights is a womens issue so i don't deal with that one either.

user rights are very important but bracking into hardware to open the software is know right of the consumer.

give me one legal reason i can agree with, without me being able to say it should be against the law. by the way i love being informed as you should know by now considering you know that im a liberal independent(although im still considered a democrat) so inform me.
