They may not even be all into “freedom” like we are here, but they know that their Iphones do what they want them to do without Apple being able to dictate to them. Even if they do get Hotz they will just end up making themselves look like the bad guys even as they try to characterize his work as enabling piracy or cheating. The common consumer feels like they own their consoles or other items when they buy them and it does not matter what any contract or law says about the issue. Hotz did experiments with his machine and told the world about his findings. The common consumer is going to understand that. Sony and it’s sycophants screaming about pirating games and cheating in online games are not going to win that fight when people have been cheating in console games long before Hotz and others broke through Sony’s security measures. They will also be cheating in these games long after Sony closes the security hole.

I bet that many adult consumers wish they had a kid as mentally capable as Hotz. He could be doing drugs or some other things far less productive than tinkering with smartphones and game consoles.

Jailbreaking products is legal in the U.S. according to the latest court ruling in the Apple vs. jailbreakers case. Please shove all log documents obtained from Geohot sites up your *ss.

Common sense

It’ll be a major win if it becomes legal to jailbreak consoles. And Sony will have it up their arses. Their EULA is a bad joke, makes you wonder if the console is yours, even if you never plan to mod/hack it. I’m not buying a PS3 before it gets completely hacked. And I’m not buying any games while I wait too, ain’t it funny?

As for me, even though I do hate how Sony (and the rest of the MAFIAA) are doing things, I’m not enough of an hypocritical person to say I don’t want to have one to play a few awesome games I’ve already seen. Mixed feelings. I wish there was no such thing as console exclusive content, would make things more… Competitive. O wait, copyright is all about creating monopolies.
