1. I have every right to be able to circumvent the firmware and install my own. I do not follow laws that I refuse to agree with written by strangers and corporate thugs that would rather have all of us on leashes than give us free choice.
The entire point of this is not about Sony's firmware, or ability to use the PSN. It that if I install my own software, Sony can just ban me from their network, and my PS3 stills functions how I want it to. Not me be sued for it. A new network can be programmed to run in its place so the PSN really is not necessary. I have no issue with being banned to secure their network as long as I can have my PS3 and electronics function how i want.
This is why my Droid is jailbroken and was running HTC's firmware at 1.2Ghz. I use my cell phone on my terms, not Motorola's, not Verizon's, not Google's, mine.
2. I really think your the ignorant one. The USA is supposed to be for the people, by the people. Its not by the government, fuck the people. Free information allows the people to make the correct decisions and decide for themselves who to vote for, what to disagree with, what to fight again. There is no real national security. Our elected officials are backstabbing assholes that enjoy having their pockets loaded with lobbyist money and illegal bribes. They will, and do, sell us out as if we are cattle going to a slaughter house. The more transparency there is with information, the less officials will be able to act as if they are for the good of us, because they will know they have no chance in hell of being elected again if they sell us out.
Remember a certain event that happened called the Civil War? While I disagree with what the South wanted, they had ever right to rebel and fight for what they believed in. They gave it their all, and while they lost, they left behind the understanding that if you do not like whats happening, stand up and fight for what you believe is a right.
And this day and age is no different. Just instead of traditional bloodshed, we have an information and cyber war. The only people willing to stand up and fight for our rights to information are the ones that aren't saints and will not stop till the goal is met.
But I guess ignorance is bliss. Being told what your supposed to feel about certain things. Being controlled by the media, government, and even your own parents, and not being able to form your own thought processes. Being told what you can buy, and how your supposed to use it with thought of ever experimenting and testing new things. Its ok, many people are blind. I am not though. I stand by my ideals that I am free. No one controls my actions. No one controls my thoughts. No one controls my desire to help and change this world for the better. No one controls my beliefs. I educate myself, using all sides of an argument to form my own opinion and judgment.
But I also stand by he moto in my sig.
