Seriously what the hell is this, there is no custom software for ps3 outside of cheats, hacks and priracy geohotz is an idiot who distributed that to everyone flooding psn with hackers and making piracy possible he should not be respected he should be thrown in jail

Ive seen alot of people say he should be in jail. What has he done that is a criminal offence?

distributed altered Sony's code and created/aided piracy on ps3

Ignore this member ^

He did nothing of the sort.

Here check out this interview with geohot from yesterday. He even says himself he deliberately did what he could to stop pirated games in his firmware.

Know what would have really stoped them, not giving them the means, his efforts were obviously ineffective and could have just been something to point to if it ever went to court to improve his position
