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.

You're dead wrong,  he told people how to hack EVERYONE and ANYONEs  bank account by manipulating his own bank account. 

Really? So geohot can go and hack your ps3 right now? I can read his instructions and hack your ps3 with out your knowledge? I did not realise that.

Besides that even if he did, it is still illegal to damage other peoples property so the point is mute.

All he did was hack his own ps3. He did not pirate, he did not hack the PSN
