^That's not accurate... more like

hackers essentially jailbreak the ps3 -> sony sues particular hacker -> obviously hacker doesn't have resources to compete with sony's legal team -> settlement -> people are mad

Certain people (i.e. the people taking down psn) are mad because they figure sony shouldn't be able to tell them what they can or cannot do with hardware (the ps3) they bought and own.

Legally it's not clear whether said hackers who jailbroke the ps3 are in the right or not, the suit sony bought against the one hacker would likely have been a landmark case in that regard.
