All right, enlighten me. How does breaking the security on the PS3 violate copyright law?

He got his CFW out, which is simply Sony code modified and distributed by him.

Legal precedent set by Sony vs. Bleem! indicates that that (and much more besides) is not copyright infringement.

Bias. I am no legal expert, but in this case, Sony's the one that should logically win - it's their system and and their screenshots!
