Information regarding how to hack the PS3 should be able to be distributed, but anyone who has an hacked PS3 should not be able to connect to PSN.... this is just stupid, its like MS saying "ok you got an hacked 360, no xbox live for you and we're shutting your system down....Corporations > all"

why?

Because its not causing harm to others and freedom of knowledge is part of "pursuit of happiness".

so, if i hack your bank account and tell everyone else how to do it, that would be freedom of knowledge and pursuit of happyness too?

No, but if you hack your own bank account that is fine. Did you forget geohot owned the ps3 he hacked?

so, what you are saying if i hack my own account and tell everyone else how to hack the account at my bank that would be ok? nobody gets hurt, right, because i am sure everyone would only ever hack their own account!

 

You can tell them how to hack their own account. Thats what Geohot did. He did not tell people how to hack other people ps3's only how to hack their own.

But besides that. I would stll say yes thats ok. I mean if we are allowed access to information on how to make bombs, why not hacking? Infact it may be legal already to tell people how to hack things. (Now theft is still illegal so they would of course get in trouble for that if they did do it)

You sir have written "i want piracy" in in signs that all can read from Rivendell to the mouths of Anduin.

Well that made no sense to me in any way. Sorry dont get the reference. Where did I say I endorse piracy? I do not believe I did. PLease point it out to me. I dont hack nor do I pirate. The only reason I care about this case is because it deals with corporations trying to keep ownership of what you buy, and in my book that is wrong. So you can either argue the points, or make vague refernces.
