Then why don't you do the whole world a favor if you are right.  You hack the PS3, publicly share your findings, and reveal who you are so there's not doubt whatsoever.  And then let's see what Sony can and will do do legally to protect their IP. Are you up for it? If not, do you encourage anyone to do it? Why or why not?

Apparently Sony won't do much too you besides a slap on the wrist. The geohot case shows this. 

 

And I don't see how that shows Sony won at all... Unless you are going somewhere with this, proceed. I am intrigued 


Stop skirting the question and answer it. I don't see how your actions are proving that Sony lost.


Ok... to answer your question.

1. Yes, I would. Sony has proven with the Geohot case there are almost no penalties for hacking your PS3 or releasing the hack into the wild 


If they had done nothing then yes it would have prove that theres no penalties for distributing hack into the wild. But since they sued Geohot and made him sign a agreement  it shows that there is penalties for releasing an hack into the wild. The next person will surely think 2 times before distributing a new hack.

they'd need to do the same with the next guy, and the guy after that. That is, unless they distribute their findings anonymously.

Seriously, Sony gained very little out of this.
