    Sony are bullies
    Sony doesn't care if what you did was legal, if they don't like it, they sue. Sony tried to sue a guy for getting his AIBO to do non Sony approved tricks, making it apparent that they don't really care about piracy, they care about control. In (Sony v Bleem), Bleem was the winner on all counts, but the high cost of a legal defense shut them down. Fortunately, that suit helped set precedent on the legality of emulators. I would hate to lose this case due to resource starvation, and with the support of the masses, I won't. Lets turn the bully back on itself. This case has the ability to set a huge precedent for consoles and all closed systems to come. The other two should be begging Sony to back off.

    Little do individuals know is that this case will set a precedence for all future modding on every console. This case is coming down to weather you really own that console you purchased. Companies like Sony are just abusing it. I'm not asking you to boycott Sony or do anything extreme. I'm asking you to read up on this case and learn what is going on, to formulate your own opinions.

    3) The point of this message. You (the consumer) have rights. Don't let corporations like Sony step on them.

    this is becoming very awesome to watch.

    i know most people here are xbox live fans and will talk crap on ps3 no matter what, but the end of this case will decide console modding all together.


    so you might want to pay attention to the case even if you don't feel like participating in the fight for your rights to own your own console and do with it as you please
