It's pointless to argue with these people. They are simply bandwagon folks that suddenly became anti-modding when the PS3 was hacked. None of these guys care about the Iphone being jail-broken or the Wii or the 360. They could care less about their rights because it hurts their precious Sony. Just be glad that their views make no difference in the grand scheme of things, only the courts views matter. If it were up to them the PS3 would require DNA testing to log in and a Sony representative would come to their house and scan their PS3 before they can turn it on. They are so blinded that they cannot see the bigger picture, which is basic rights.

Bullshit. I own both of those consoles as well and I will not support pirating or modding of any kind. I'm really starting to hope that Sony does start bricking consoles that are found with pirated software on it.

I don't pirate jack so don't say I do. I'm simply for consumer rights and can't fathom how people support Sony on this. I hope Sony bricks consoles with pirated games as well, just not people with modded consoles. If nothing illegal is on it, Sony should leave it alone. Sony should only go after the piraters, not Geohotz. He hacked the device and there should be nothing illegal about that and hopefully the courts rule in his favor or else consumers will loose the rights to do what they want with devices they own.
I'm not simply calling you out with my original statement, but you know as well as I do that most the people in this thread could have cared less about pirating before the PS3 was hacked.

You seem to be missing the point. I suggest you go back a few pages and read the comments of the pro-Sony posts. Or even read Tsuyui(sorry if I spelled the name wrong)'s post,which in my opinion, concludes the debate.

He hasn't missed the point.
I can assure you he has missed no point, he simply relises the true value of freedom of speech and is fully aware of the hierarchy of weights of importance of various rightmorals etc.
In this case geohot may have facilitated piracy, but his sole intention was not to do so. He even added features in his firmware modifying tools to disable piracy!!!
This isn't about what YOU feel is fair and just, this is about what IS fair and just. Neither you nor I nor the next person decide that. The law states geohotz is untouchable. If he can weather this one through he is guranteed to win, because he did some very important things...
1. He released tools that patch Sony's firmware - not distribute modifiied firmware.
2. He added anti-piracy safeguards to the patches he made.
3. He's never advocated piracy EVER and always spoken against it.
I mean you do realise that one his patches had been applied, his custom firmware wouldn't even allow backup managers to load pirated games, it took a couple of weeks for hackers to patch geohotz' firmware to allow them to run!
