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.   

He was fine up until the moron decided to SHARE it with everyone else. If he kept this to himself we wouldn't be having this discussion.

It should be, and probably will be, perfectly legal to share what he did.  He opened up the system to allow consumers to do what they want with what they own.  As long as he did not pirate he should be left alone.  What others do with what he did is not his fault.

Lol. Then I guess I should give nuclear bomb chematics to under developed countries. I'm not the one that's going to use them.

Exactly, He knew that there are millions of pirates on the internet, but he decided to put it there anyway. And then he brags about it. What did he expect?
