Probably Sony's strongest point is him distributing it. But yes, he's also getting sued for circumventing access control measures.
I think Sony might have gotten a lot less negative reactions if they had simply sued for distributing his tools and the numbers. Other than the modding they are also suing for unauthorized computer access (Sony has to authorize you to tinker with your PS3?) and tresspassing on Sony's ownership to the PS3 (that you and others bought) among others.
In an age where my microwave is running its software, companies shouldn't be allowed to retain some retarded leasing model that would allow them to claim ownership of purchased products.
