I have a gun so I have the right to give it to who I want and shoot who I want.
Smart real smart.

No, because shooting someone is illegal. In many states you have the right to give it to whoever you want though, as long as they aren't a felon. I've got a legal 0.50 mussel loader that I bought from a buddy, no government involvement. I love Mississippi. The argument is that I can do with my PS3 what is legal, and modding without pirating should be legal. That is what the case will address.
Crappy analogy with no thought put into it. It would work if shooting someone were legal but it does kind of work on the give it to whoever I want part though, as long as it's not a felon and it depends on the state.
Edit: In the USA of course. If guns are illegal in your country of residence then the entire analogy falls apart because possessing a gun is illegal.

Well thanks for making me feel stupid.
He is getting sued for modding it?
I haven't been folowing this case but is it mod

He's being sued for exploiting a security flaw in the PS3 and releasing it to the public, giving users complete control over the system. He has not pirated and disabled the ability to pirate in his released mod. The community quickly changed his stuff to be able to pirate games though, which was to be expected. It's kind of a grey area legally because when most people get convicted for this kind of thing they usually do something illegal with the flaw they found, not for publishing the flaw.
