By the way, which of your rights  did Sony violate ?

The right to mod your console ? They have nothing against that.

What they are against is you propagating the information on how to mod a console.

That is quite different.

Now maybe you are a genious hacker that found by himself how to hack the PS3 and were about to diffuse your knowhow.( are you geohotz).

But in all likelyhood this is a right you coudn't exercise even if you tried for the next 10 years. And it's definitly not a right 99.9% of the customers could exercise...

So basically none of your rights were affected.... GeoHotz rights might have been, but if you are so worried about how others right are affected I'm pretty sure sure there are millions and even billions of people that have much more basic rights denied every day, maybe you should care about those instead....

It's extremly simple to understand. 

If a Baker is denied the ability to bake, can it not be said that his customers are denied bread?

We live in a society of specialization... by infringing on his right to distribute the product of his work.  Sony has infringed on everybodies rights to choose or not choose to enjoy it.

It's up to me to choose what rights I decide to exercise and what rights I don't exercise.  Any law preventing a right... even if it's one I wouldn't choose to do,(like say gay marriage) is an assault on my rights.

As for the bolded

Arguing that expressing concern about a (relatively) small problem means that the person doesn't care about any larger problems. A type of Strawman, this fallacy takes the opponent's claim and appends to it the following additional claims:

That it is not possible to care about big and small problems simultaneously.

That venting a minor complaint is sufficient proof that the major problem is considered unimportant.

That if the person irritated over the minor problem did help solve or even cared about the big problems, he would then not mind at all that his car broke down or whatever the frustration was.

The intent is to distort the opponent's claim X into "X, which is far more important than anything else."

Except in a society of law there are plenty of products that you are allowed to develop on your own but are prevented to sell to others or very restricted in the way you do so.

It's legal to create a computer virus, it's illegal to distribute it...

It's legal to bake bread, it's illegal to sell it without the FDA approval..( the food needs to be cooked in a inspected kitchen).
