o_O.Q said: [...] lmfao and my analogy was bad? knives can be used for a variety of applications that can be used to benefit all people, but yes they may also cause harm... on the other hand in the case of custom firmware and keys to unlock consoles the majority of the users aren't going to use them ( by majority here at least 90% ) meaning they benefit only a small minority, however, they can be used for purposes that may affect all users adversely, for example, when the hacking community took over CoD on the ps3 and made it unplayable... but i guess for some people once the hackers get their way everythings cool the average consumer who just wants to use their product can jsut go piss off right? lol great analogy sony shouldn't have done anything they should have allowed the hackers to take over their network and screw over the majority of consumers |
Nobody pretends that the right to mod your own things be extended to affect others against their will. Everybody's right to mod their consoles ends outside of the walls of their homes, and can only be extended where they are accepted by other players and by the network's owner, if not used in a public one (. It's all about personal freedom, its basic rule applies everywhere. And your argument about the usefulness for a minority is totally flawed, for example any single medication is used just by a minority, and it's often harmful for people not needing it.
