The two are lumped together, so its unlikely hacking your ps3 would be charged without distribution. And even so, talk about unenforcable. |
So, your resposne to me showing that he was charged with it... is "He was charged with it, but it's the same lawsuit so it doesn't count."
That's like saying is charged with both Murder and attempted murder, if it wasn't for the murder, there is no proof he'd be charged for attempted murder.
Aside from which, all that matters is that they claim it's illegal.
Whether or not they'd ever enforce it or not, I'd look at the RIIA.
They sue individual pirates all the time for piracy, heck even small time pirates.
It's actually easy money for them, and they have the lawyers on retainer anyway.
You just sue individuals, and the indivudals can't fight back since they don't have the resources, and basically instantly settle.
And if they don't, the lawyers stretch out the lawsuit until you do settle... because you don't have the money of a huge corporation.
I mean, it's not like Sony don't have a record of sueing people who are doing something legal, and crushing them into the ground because they have money and the people they are sueing don't.
I mean, Bleem, Lik-Sang or whatever the importers were.
I mean, it's basically Sony's hobby.
