I'm donating, I didn't jailbreak my PS3 nor do I plan to in the future, the point here is not piracy. He was the one that jail broke the iphone resulting in making my life a ton better and I have never done any piracy on Cydia or the Apple store products. He's giving people an option to explore the hardware, how they want to use it is their own business, that's what being in the US is all about, freedom, yet coporations want to change the rules and the playfield and take our freedom away by limiting the things we can do to something we fucking shelled out a good amount of money for. Too many people are just thinking that this is a piracy stunt and are completely missing the fucking point.


spot on.

Yes and no.

He's gullible in thinking that people will do good with said codes... while exploring the hardware is nice, yeah, the absolute majority uses his discovery to do malicious whatever... I've been following the stuff, and so far, nothing of real helpful use has even begun development.  By nature, people are bad IMO. This is why all this shit is happening instead of anyone getting useful programs.

I can't beleive that he believes that what he has done will have major benefit... he gave the monkey a grenade, pretty much.

Nothing useful came out right away after the iphone jailbreak either, the cydia and other thing came a while after. If you want to believe people are dicks by nature, that's fine, but that's got nothing to do with the fine print of what Sony is after. It's not that he's gullible, it's that he's simply releasing things for nothing just like all open source PC devs do, and that usually creates a core community that can make great things happen. Sony can ban all the fuckers that cheat or pirate, I don't give a rat's ass about that part at all, their fear is that their business model would be crushed by it and they should indeed do something about it, but this is not the fucking answer.
