We own the things we buy, we can even hack it. But releasing a mass hack that includes PSN is all we can't do. And i can live that, surely you should be able to too. 

yes, but they won't if they want to make money in the future - Customers have control over companies with their wallets, but nobody has control over what hackers can or may do, so I think companies are the lesser evil in this case (right now, as there are enough competing companies)

This. Look at the size of his computer room. He is so underprivaliged that he had to hack just to play his games. I feel nothing for him. Also, with him pleading to those like him is the surest way to see not a dime come his way. I mean, why would they give him a dime when they dont pay a dime for games? In the words of PC gamers and Hackers everywhere, "You're expensive! DENIED!"

Wow, someone actually said thanks =o. Your welcome.

I don't. I hope other companies (like Apple) send resources to Sony. Apple is looking into making a home console.

I'm donating, I didn't jailbreak my PS3 nor do I plan to in the future, the point here is not piracy. He was the one that jail broke the iphone resulting in making my life a ton better and I have never done any piracy on Cydia or the Apple store products. He's giving people an option to explore the hardware, how they want to use it is their own business, that's what being in the US is all about, freedom, yet coporations want to change the rules and the playfield and take our freedom away by limiting the things we can do to something we fucking shelled out a good amount of money for. Too many people are just thinking that this is a piracy stunt and are completely missing the fucking point.

It doesn't really matter. No matter how much money he gets, he won't be able to beat Sony at a Lawyer battle. He is doing this, just like everything else he does. To get attention. He knows that it looks like he is getting his ass whooped right now (and he is), so he needs donations and what better way to ask then to make himself look like nothing when compared to the case. 

He is going to squeeze ever ounce of fame he can out of this.

Sent 100 dollars his way via paypal just now.

I totally agree with you man. But the corporations could care less if you hack their product. What matter is that he mass released the hack, a hack that potentially ruins the PSN service and causes security problems on Sony's end. If i were Sony, i would be asking "wheres the Corporate freedom to sell a product with a network that isn't going to get hacked"?

I just believe that this isn't the way to fight this case. Not with Geohot, and not with the PS3. Its different to hack a product that is connected to network. And should be illegal in my book.
