in the end, their better off than if geo hot wasnt taken to court and jailbreak spead around the world costing them millions and losing 3rd party support as they did with PSP.

I love how people on VGChartz make blatant strawmen of one's arguments and hope one doesn't notice. PROTIP: you're supposed to make strawmen of people's arguments when you're talking to third parties and they aren't present to defend themselves.

Jailbreak has already spread across the world. Once an exploit has been found, you can never stop people hacking your system. All Sony is doing now is bringing attention to it and making people angry, which leads to more jailbreaking.

and piracy and legal and stopping it is illegal? since when?

I'm referring to their removal of OtherOS as illegal, seeing as it was completely illegal. Their removal of it was one of the factors that spurred hackers on.

I didn't say anything that any honest person could interpret as meaning piracy was legal.

removing features from a product (which are not core to its primary function) is not illegal.

attacking servers, pirating and hacking PSN is illegal.

thats why geo hot is in court and FBI are after anonymous and not sony.

anyways, PROTIP: dont study law because you dont even understand basic morals.

In Europe it is. If you advertise it, then you can't remove it, or you have to compensate your users.

 

Even they used it to import it as a computer, not a videogames system, so they pay less duties.

But they didn't advertise it at all! It was a feature that was just included with the PS3. They never once ever said that "it only does other OS." Come on and get real now man. You're being dillusional like every other supporter for these hackers.

If that's not advertisement... Bazinga!
