| Hyruken said: Just saw this on the news! Seems to have spread quite quickly. The way they are reporting it is to basically say you don't own anything you buy from Sony and if you do anything to their product they will come raid you! Which makes no sense to me.... If i buy anything that product becomes mine, i should be able to blow it up, jam megadrive cartridges in the cd player, paint it purple, do anything i like to it.

Sony doesn't care if you hack your console. They just don't want you to release the tools to do so all over the world, where everyone (including pirates, cheaters, etc) can use those tools to do dirty things.
Now I'm not against hacking or anything, but if this is the only thing that sony can do to stop the pirates, then I don't know what else Sony shoud do. I'm assuming it's easier to stop one guy from releasing information to everyone than it is to stop every individual pirate/cheater that uses the information.
