So no it doesnt cause a bad precedent for people who wants to hack the stuff they legaly own.

I'm not even going to try to argue this really. Hotz is accused of breaching DMCA. Which criminalizes circumventing DRM. Which is exactly what hacking your console does. So yes, in essence if Sony wins they can pursue anyone that hacked their console

The ability to do what you want with what you own is a basic consumer right, any judge will agree that it override any other liability. Thats why they are sueing geohot for publishing an encryption key and software tools on his website, not for hacking his personal PS3.

Exactly!
