yes, you are NOT suppose to do whatever you want with a product, however, that isn't why Sony is suing him (this is the part where you completely ignore everything I'm about to say) because Sony doesn't care, Sony could careless that you mod your system, what they do care about is releasing that mod to everyone else knowing full well what could happen. See intellectual property is something you "mah consumer rightz" people have to get familiar with. It's not up to you the consumer to decide what the hell a product should or should not do, you know who does however....the people who made the damn thing, and yes they have the RIGHT to do that, and if your mad a product is able to do what you want the the only RIGHT you have is to buy another product or better MAKE YOUR OWN!!!!!!!

I was just about to put this in a way that would certainly get me banned: you are so wrong about this. You've really bought all that corporate propaganda they've been feeding you. Guns aren't illegal because they can be used for crimes, and the same should go for software. If you use it for illegal purposes then that's a problem but until then, there's no problem: innocent until proven otherwise. It sucks, but no one seems to care about things like consumer rights of freedom of speech these days (and I'm not trying to say they're the same thing or necessarily even connected - I'm just saying that's two things no one seems to care about anymore).

Cheated out of money like say how Sony will be cheated out of money if hackers get there way with homebrew that runs pirated games??Oh what so because Sonys a bg corporation that employs thousands off people they don't have any rights??

Two wrongs doesn't necessarily make a right. In fact, innocent until proven otherwise and yet here Sony is treating everyone like a criminal.

Also, I'm perfectly fine with Sony banning custom firmware users from using PSN.

Always the gun argument... so do try this with a weapon, buy it, modify and sell the same weapon 1000 times... or it will be impossible or another crime that is selling the same product more than once, and this is why is argument is so lame (altough it's illegal to make one gun into something you don't have a right to keep, as your gun registration is for the one you bought not the one it became after modify)...

I doubt Sony would be pissed if anyone maked a PSN.Hack just for them to play and it didn't offer pirated games, just a conection to homebrewers and cheaters to get along... i see people hacking PSN not making one for them...
