They could have physically beat him for all I care.

With statements like this one I guess it's useless to argue, you're effectively (perhaps literally) a Sony shill.

No, I'm more a conservative who:
a) Hates piracy
b) Hates little American teens with big mouths (and I'm guessing a lot of hackers fit this description)
c) Hates harm coming to companies that provide me with products and services that I enjoy
Why would you defent Hotz? What good has he done? He is bad for business, and if he was threatening the profits of my company, I'd hunt him down like a cheetah.

I defend him because he didn't do anything illegal, and unlike you I don't think that "being bad for business" is reason to beat up someone.
You sound like you would be a good mafia lord...

It is illegal in my eyes, and the eyes of many.
Sure, your principle is correct that once you buy a product it is yours and you should be able to alter it. But you have to have a moral code above that principle - harm should not come from any alterations. For example if I buy chemicals and create a virus, sure the chemicals are mine, but you can't justify the alteration.
Common sense has to prevail. We should be trying to help companies/the economy when ever we can.
