Thats what all of his supporters are claiming.


Jailbreak your iphone is legal

jailbreak your ps3 not legal

 

I think that is the problem for most people here. It should be legal as there is precedent for it already.

The difference is that one is a games console and another is a phone. One platform makes most of it's money from hardware, another makes most of it's money from software. One runs an online gaming network, the other doesn't. One has consumers which could potentially have their online experience harmed, the other doesn't. They are two different things, both of them being electronic devices doesn't make them similar platforms.

Also, the law that was passed for phones went through, as far as I know, the law still states that consoles can't be hacked. Until something changes, then analogies are pointless in this case.


No. You don't get to pick and choose.
