you're jumping the gun by bring up piracy ... i haven't gone there.  the OS on the ps3 is IP and you have a license agreement with sony with regards to what you can do with it....and it ain't much.    and a ps3 isn't a PC -- you're license agreement with MS's windows isn't your license agreement with Sony's OS.  if you don't like it then do the proper consumer responsibility -- don't buy it.  that's what we called a free market.

Nice point there, but you're forgetting one thing.

What does the software reside on? Hardware.

The laws for software prohibit the MODIFICATION of software not owned by you, but it doesn't prevent anyone from reinstalling a completely new software on HARDWARE THAT THEY OWN.

I mean seriously, are you guys LOOKING for ways to let Sony control you? Sheesh...
