By using developer consoles you're accessing to your own computer, and as long as you aren't circumventing DRM, or committing some other criminal act, it's not illegal. Not by my reading of the situation, but IANAL... What is the legal precedent to which you're referring? These companies lose more money to fraud in a quarter than they have ever lost due to people exporting their movie ratings, or whatever other non-criminal acts people have been committing at the console. I don't understand why we need to posit a 2nd (more sinister) motivation.
