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

Nothing refrain you to mod your stuff and explain to others how to do it. Still, nobody have the right to modify others work and post it on the internet.

Hackers have been doing it for years so yes, they do have the right.  Sony wants to change that.

Wow, internet is making people desensitive to what is legal and what is not. It has always been illegal to modify others work and distribute it. Its just that its hard to rule when it comes to internet.

It's illegal to modify someones work and then distribute for a profit or for the sole purpose of doing something illegal.  Geohotz is not doing that, people may do illegal things with it but he has not and does not condone it.
