Some people hand out hammers to fix things.  Some people hand out hammers to hurt others.  Some people mod consoles to do things they want at no expense to others.  Some people mod consoles to cheat and make the gaming experience worst for everyone else.  And it's about the intent, not the action.  So, no.  My analogy is NOT broken.  But when someone such as yourself cannot successfully argue the point at hand (geohot being in the wrong), a common tactic is to divert attention from the real point such as focusing on an analogy (which is what you are attempting to do.)  So focus on this:

"The truth that has been pointed out over and over again which has been denied by everyone unreasonable is that we all know that what geohot released WILL be abused.  AND he PROVED his malicious intent by the release and content of that rap video.  Keep lying to yourself.  You guys aren't gamers."

You sannot deny that Geohot released sensitive info.

You cannot deny that it will be abused.

You cannot deny that Geohot proved his malicious intent from the rapping video he released.

Geohot is in the wrong.  Stop lying to yourself, and start promoting gaming.

This, so much this.


If geohot has released a video stating that all he was trying to do was give tools to those who seek to enhance the PS3 and stressed that he believed that we do not need legislation to control behavior be giving everyone a chance to use these tools for good, I would have given him a $100 in support.  But he didn't.  After Sony was allowed to look into his hard drive, geohot was shoving this whole thing in their face.
