UPCs and ISBNs are examples of numbers (or integers) which have been generated, distributed, and are protected against misuse, are they not? you claimed that no number could be afforded protection, obviously you were mistaken.

What the hell are you talking about? Just because a book has ISBN 12345, that doesnt mean I cannot use the number 12345 in any other application. That is a completely stupid and retarded stance!

you are not reading what i'm writing.

you are not ISBN. You cannot claim you're ISBN and in a position to distribute ISBN numbers unless you are. Anything you distribute as having come from ISBN when it has not is wrong.

hopefully that's clear enough.

Yes, but I am allowed to cite an ISBN, just like any bookstore does, and just like GeoHot did to sign files.

He did not MAKE a key. He cited one. It's NOT illegal to cite an ISBN!

but you see, he cited one which can be attached to homebrew apps which are not developed, suported or distributed by Sony.

Putting a DKNY badge on a random cheapo wallet does not make it automatically a wallet made by DKNY if you see what I'm getting at.
