| o_O.Q said: surely you can see therefore that you are contradicting yourself : " I should have the right to hack, and modify it in anyway I see fit." "anyway that i see fit" includes modding to access xbl and psn, hacking, cheating online, piracy etc well that is if you agree that people who hacked the ps3 were going online and interfering with the system ( like with xbox ) |
Having the right to hack or modify a piece of hardware as you see fit is different than having the ability to take it onto a network owned by the console maker. One involves doing something in your possession, and the other involves having something to do with using the said device in a service provided by the company.
Another examples is individuals who tinker with their own equipment. They can void the warrantees they have on their equipment by tinkering. The manufacturer has ever right to refuse to service equipment you voided the warranty on.
