All you people who support Geohot are retards. I don't care if he wants to hack his PS3 and put linux on it, it's not my problem. But, whenever he posts how to hack online so all the hackers can pirate games and cheat on line, then it's my problem. I still want to see great games like Shadow of the Colossus and Uncharted being made, but if people are downloading them all the time, then I might as well say goodbye. He had no reason to post the root key online other than to look cool. It's like when  a murderer commits the most eleborate murder ever and tells everyone about it because he wants to be known (I'm thinking of the book, And then there Were None).


horrible comparison.  the guy is posting about a murder online, which is illegal.  this is not illegal.

you keep bringing in unrelated things.  Geohot has nothing to do with people downloading games for free.  you can't count him responsible for other people.  why don't we arrest people who sell guns or knives if any of those are used in murder?  

people kill people, guns don't.  People use this code illegally or not, geohot isnt' responsible for that.

Fine ignore the part about murder.But what kind of idiot thinks posting the root key online won't bring anything bad to the PS3, obviously someone is going to pirate games, and yes in that case it should be illegal, he had no reason to post the root key, it's not his to show to everyone anyways.
