Some people call them terrorist, other people call them freedom fighters...

When can a corporation tell you what you can do with the stuff you buy? 

Whenever the purchase is linked up to a network and can cause damage to it and its consumers =]
Atleast thats what i believe.


but the corporation can lock you out of their network. That is not the issue at all, and everyone who mods their consoles accepts that outcome.


Thats exactly what Sony has been doing.....


no Sony are trying to block the ability to modify your own console and share how to do it. it has nothing to do with connection to the PSN at all.

They aren't trying to block the ability to do it, just to share how to do it.

even so, information should be free to be distributed.

what kind of information?

how about your name, adress, IP, PIN and social security number, your credit card details, the same information about your relatives...

don't tell me you wouldn't want to protect your own assets from the public to be used as they see fit.



“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”

I don't know enough about the situation, but its possible for both to be in the wrong to varying degrees..

This is no zero sum game.

You are free to spread information, but you are also responsible by what you say and distribute, and Sony is showing this to GeoHotz... Don't try to act as citizen that think you have just rights and no obligations.

THIS! Geohot opened the way for people to play pirate games on the console. So he's responsible for Sony and their partners losing lots of cash. At the moment it hasn't really hurt the industry or the console, but look what happened to the PSP. It could happen to any console. So I do support Homebrew like jailbreaking my iPod, but I don't download stuff that would normally cost me money if I downloaded it on the Appstore. What I think hackers should do is make sure their applications/software can only be used for Homebrew and not for playing illegal games.

Yeahhh they should follow what they say about sony keeping the security... release a hack that allows your PS3 to play homebrew but is unhackable to play pirates...

But they say sony is lame (took 4 years for them to crack it), but their hack - that don't support pirating - is modified to play pirates in 1 week... so who is the one that is lame with security?

I have been somewhat sympathetic towards Anon, mostly because I truely don't believe Sony had any right to go after and sue Geo Hotz, but this is for sure taking it too far.  And it is true, and I don't know if you guys have checked lately but PSN is freaking out.


Best advice is stay off PSN or hidden for a week, everything will be back in order later.


My PSN works fine actually...
