part 2: And take the system that got hack or mod or ect bad to it. I am not picking sides on who is right or wrong but i been Sony fan sense my birth and i love Sony PS1, ‘PS2, PS3, PSP, and more other things there made. There give us free PSN account unlike xboxlive were u have to pay for membership, we have PS+ membership to pay if we want it or not so psn is better then xboxlive. Sony can be big baby but there are trying to make all there work don’t go to waste by letting hackers and ect miss with there systems. If i made system i would do the same thing like sony but without sueing someone & thats all i got to say. If u feel like me then hit me up sometimes on the PSN, am on sometimes. Anyway hope to work or have sony put my own video games up on there psn for sale i am working on right now. Peace out to all :)

part 1: Sony can’t force control us but there can force control there systems or anything there make. If there are planing to control things that way then there need to make the Warranty and Service on the systems lifetime then. If not there then others will came doing what there do. Why Warranty and Service? u get only 90 takes to take it back or no returns to me its means i can do anything to it sense i don’t have Warranty and Service no more on it then. just the Warranty is useless, if Sony don’t wont anyone being enable to do any hacks or whatever then make Warranty and Service lifetime. Then add some new rules to the Warranty and Service like u get one free repair & ect and to return it. With something like this no mods, hacks, or anything to are system is against are TERMS OF SERVICE AND USER AGREEMENT you will be track then fine & ban from buying any Sony items or downloading from Sony makers.

I personally still love my PS3, but i do not want it to be controlled by a company like this. Since this comment is probably going to be deleted, i ask that you support me in fighting for the System that you have purchases

I wouldn’t be counting our Collective chickens to fast, there is still one other lawsuit that needs to come to an end. it is the other OS lawsuit and with the winning of this lawsuit, I am lead to believe that the PS3 is then a leased device and if so then it needs to be held as such.

I find it curious though that SCEA dropped there charges against the other hackers involved.
So a permanent injunction? Why did SCEA drop the others? This will Be interesting to see what happens with failOverflow as they no longer are being chased down by SCEA.

I’d just like to remind all the preverbal “haters” of Hotz. You do realise by doing what he did he not only helped you, he helped sony massively! By using his jailbreak it fixed the hole in sonys bad coding by SHOWING THEM THEIR FAULTS! What he did was true and honest, it’s then the low-life hackers who took that upon themselves to make hacks and cheats for online! And as for the piracy, well that’s just bad luck on sonys behalf! When building a million dollar researched console… Why not go the. Extra mile and put an encoded Blueray reader in the damn thing. The idiots here are fony and you the consumer who accepts this crap.

i dont get it i think we should be able to do what we want with our consoles ya there should be consequences but i paid for this its mine to do with what i want if i want to find a way to run another os or anything i should be allowed. hell i paid around 600 for this damn thing i should be able to open it up mod what i want and install anything i pleas. im not saying mod to play pirated things or anything illegal just use it for my own stuff just like my pc. ps3 is a massive power house and is capable of doing so much. i should not have to worry about going to court cause i modded MY HARDWARE!! i say make consequences ban me from online and stuff like that microsoft has it right. let me do what i want with what i paid good money for.

The people that think Sony was correct in this lawsuit are the morons who have no idea what actually was being argued. They claim to be supporting the users of their consoles, and I for one would rather sony not try and “protect” me. After the retchid abortion of the upcoming “SOCOM 4″ being released, there is very little hope left for this entire system. I can’t wait for the next Microsoft console to be released so I can trade up from the garbage that SCEA and these moronic companies are releasing. It’s pure crap

Sony should be hiring guys like this to identify these problems in the first place and that in turn would hopefully make a more secure system before it is ever released. I personally don’t mind about some of the features being taken away as long as we have a secure system on which to play our games.

So hopefully we will get this hacking down to a minimum and get back to what we enjoy best.

Cheers

It never ceases to amaze nor humour me how there are so many ignorant kids that actually dare to think they knew the slightest thing about this case.

I had a very long paragraph where I attempted to explain the difference between whitehat and blackhat but if you don’t know that, it just proves my point as to how uninformed you people are about who hackers actually are, what they do, and why they do it (one word: information).
