Various sources [1] are stating that the Sony PS3 TOS allows Sony to disable units remotely leaving them unusable for both online and offline use. While I would be fine with being banned from their network, I believe the hardware should be mine to do with as I please - with the obvious exclusion of piracy. If I want to get Linux on there, then that should be my right as the owner of the hardware - same if I want to run custom firmware to allow me to do hobby development. Both their supposed right to unleash a ban wave, as well as their lawsuit against Geohot et al just doesn't make sense - why can a lawsuit like this even be allowed to happen? (This question is linked to the fact that Geohot purposely did not add peek/poke functionality on what he released to ensure that piracy would not be possible using his tools - even if others have since added that in) [1] http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/digitalfoundry-in-theory-psn-jailbreaking http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/digitalfoundry-in-theory-p...
