He broke copyright code by modifying and distributing his CFW, and what he has made available in face of signing codes for people can easily is, in legal terms, "aiding and abetting".

In other words, he is guilty as sin. Let people do what they want with their devices? Alright. As long as it doesn't compromise others, but hey, that's all it achieved so far. Do whatever you want, however, don't break the law. He did.

He hasn't been convicted yet so you can't say he broke the law.  This will set a precedent and I sure hope he wins, so I can do what I want with what I buy.

And not do what YOU want with what others buy, but this is what his codes allow.

But Geohotz did not control other peoples devices, which is why I support him.  He simply modded.

He gave people the means for all that crap. That is why I don't.

I guess we disagree on a fundamental level.  I would not punish him for opening the doors for people to then do something illegal. 

I see that we do.
