 The creators have the say, and the least we can do is respect that. So if anyone doesn't like the PS3 and its values, you're better off donating/supporting a company that makes products to your liking and values, rather than giving to a dead end cause as is the case with Geohot.

And what happens in an endgame case when ALL companies that offer products force you to play by their rules? This is what the current case will decide.

Then  ull be very successful if u start a  company with a product where consumers like your rules.

And how long do you think that would last against the like (and cashflow) of Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo?

They'd swallow a small company up quicker than Standard Oil swallowed up it's competitors back in the 1800s

I dont know about that but I didnt see AT&T 'swallow' Verison when they appeared.

Maybe they didnt consider them a threat when they started. I have no idea about the state of US Telcos, so I cannot comment there.

The difference is, if the big 3 see a threat from the beginning, theyd be able to stamp it out before it takes a hold.
