"Wouldn't that have been solved by... Sony not selling the PS3 for a loss.  You are basically saying, Sony should be protected for making poor buisness decisions, and because tangentially something he did was used in a wrong way."

You're not in a position to claim their business strategy is just wrong. Selling consoles for a loss at launch to recoup with software has always been a successful strategy for them (and not only for Sony). And it's besides the point anyway.

And I'm not saying Sony should be protected, I'm saying Sony is right to protect themselves and all the software studios etc that depend on them.

And they have the right to protect themselves by basically controlling the hardware they sold to us? We should all bend over for our corporate overlords and give up any right we have to hardware we bought with the money we earned?

You have the right to do what you want with your console (as long as its legal) you just are going to have to decide what you value more. Dont tell anyone what or how you are doing it. Also would we be having this discussion if he had not spread the code?
