no Sony are trying to block the ability to modify your own console and share how to do it. it has nothing to do with connection to the PSN at all.
|
They aren't trying to block the ability to do it, just to share how to do it.
|
even so, information should be free to be distributed.
|
Thats the biggest piece of BS i have read in this thread. I don't have anything else to say to you.
|
You are free to spread information, but you are also responsible by what you say and distribute, and Sony is showing this to GeoHotz... Don't try to act as citizen that think you have just rights and no obligations.

THIS! Geohot opened the way for people to play pirate games on the console. So he's responsible for Sony and their partners losing lots of cash. At the moment it hasn't really hurt the industry or the console, but look what happened to the PSP. It could happen to any console. So I do support Homebrew like jailbreaking my iPod, but I don't download stuff that would normally cost me money if I downloaded it on the Appstore. What I think hackers should do is make sure their applications/software can only be used for Homebrew and not for playing illegal games.

You do know GeoHotz is the one who jailbroke the iPhone/iPod right?
And yes, certain things belong private, but your using the internet where anything and everything can be leaked to the public even using privacy filters. But we are also in the middle of a cyber war, and in war there is all rules placed are basically works fiction.
Judicial courts have ruled in the suit Apple against GeoHotz & the jailbreaking that jailbreaking is 100% legal and the information can be distributed. A console is the exact same thing as a cell phone, a computer. A CFW = Jailbreak software. So based off the legalization of jailbreaking software and its distribution, a PS3 which is also a computer should basically be granted the same judgment since there is zero difference in base function between a cell phone, a game console, a hand held game console, or a PC, or a Mac.

Also, that Geohotz DID make it so it only did homebrew.
People just hacked his custom firmware to allow piracy.
As for the "going after peoples children" thing... that seems to be based off of one post, that was probably a joke.
Sloppy reporting at it's best.

If true, they would most likely do a similar dox as the blizzard forums users did on the one guy defended that whole "lets use our real names" thing they were going to mandate.
For all that do not know, about what happened, basically one of the admins put his real name to prove how effective it was and how secure you would be, so a user on the blizzard forums looked up all his info. Afterward, the blizzard guy got a call on his cell phone from said user. The user proceeded to talk about the guys daughter in elementary school, his wife's career, and many other subjects. At the end on of the convo the forum user asked, "So you think using real names is a great idea?" and obviously the answer was no since the plan was dropped almost immediately.
Still, it was just one comment, and if Anon doesn't agree with that as a collective it wont happen. Which Anon won't stoop that low as to use children.
