Like I said above, I'm finding this whole thing to be very irritating. Why should a group of hackers dictate what I do with my spare time? Is it up to them to tell me to "go outside".
Finally a long weekend with tons of new releases and this.
Oh and thanks for telling me there is more to life. How many days did you nerds stay indoors in front of a computer to learn how to illegally hack computers? Just ridiculous.
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.
