      Seriously, i don't hate geohot, infact i love his work, and cootos to him if he wins the battle with Sony.

      Just people need to accept that what is happening is for real, and shouldn't take sides.

      we all live in a age of control

      its enough that we are all controled by law and have to work or get so much bills that in the end ya wind up in prison cause we cant pay them all that or a bum

      but to have a multinational super money nazi called sony control me aswell with a peice of hardware that i purchased with my own money well thats just insane

      sonys basicly saying right if you ever want to use linux on your console to use like someone else said here vlc or many many other linux programs then we will sue you and have your console/computers taken off you

      i say thanks to geohot as in my opinion he is correct and i even noticed it before he original stated the fact that no we dont really own our own hardware

      we cant access every peice of it and use it to its fullest

      second thing lately i cant stand is everyone going piracy that piracy this

      can you seriously say that at home right at this moment you dont have any downloaded music cds copied dvds blu rays computer games or any other downloaded pirated media

      ild say everyone would say why yes i do in my eyes everyone who has ever been connected to the internet including myself yes i am a pirate

      i may be wrong but i am yet to meet someone in this world who has not pirated something
      ild say even people that work at sony have atleast pirated something i know with all there money they dont really need to right well everyone does anyway because of the internet really

      yes i pirate myself i can say yes i have and do but i also do buy alot of games im just tired of hearing of piracy yes the ability to run someones own code does allow piracy

      even bill gates is a pirate why he stole dos from ibm enough said

      Why the fuk won't nobody talk about this? Its always "oh u removed teh linux now we haxz you"

      I hope Sony shows no mercy, sue them, ban the people playing GT5 for free while I paid the Signature edition and kill their consoles!
      It is illegal to kill someones console under the 'computer misuse act'. The fact is the the console belongs to the purchaser. And before I hear EULA, EULA is not law and never will be. Example: Say you buy a game for child/minor. That child opens the box and puts the game into the console and clicks through to play. How is the EULA enforceable when minors are not allowed to enter into contracts? Where is the legally binding signature that ALL legal documents MUST have? I hope Sony bricks YOUR console.

      It is clear that you have not been reading up on this and or did not watch the video "didnt Geohot say he found a glitch/bug in the OtherOS so he could hack the PS3 WHILE we still had OtherOS" he said he was messing around in OtherOS and could not access the Hypervision......then $ony removed OtherOS and then he (as you say) "haxz you" now about you paying whatever you paid for GT...no offence but you paid for it. that was your right and or option (on a side not the Signature edition just the regular game with a pretty case right?) but I guess the easy question is if you are so against what is going here are you not in the right place, should you be on http://us.playstation.com/.....

      but regardless if hate geohot's work and the face I have games (GT) on a 2TB external drive welcome......

      You can play emulators, homebrew, hell I won't mind if you pirate PS2 games. But pirating new games like GT5 is blasphemy. Is it fair to play a new game for free when somebody paid 60 bucks for it? Is it fair if they enjoy the same online experience? NO. Sony should ban the people going into PSN, possibly brick their consoles. Basically the Microsoft tactics when it comes to fight piracy.

      Why is Sony quiet when everybody can play free games on 3.55? I bet they're registering people with cfw right now and when the right time comes. BOOOMMM!! "sony brickzz my ps3! what should i doooo!! "help meh pl0x" "i got no acces on psn" *cry *cry *

      I donīt really feel good when i play a downloaded backups, so i think that PSN shouldn't be available for us. We must choose between PSN+Original games and backups. Those who download a game have not right to claim for online gaming.

      I wonīt lie, i have some backups but i have originals games too. Especially the good ones like Uncharted 1 y 2, Killzone, GOW and many others

      Please do not lose the right to buy originals games. It really feels good. I try to buy one per month.
      Support developers, we have seen a lot of time developers closing their doors and people losing their jobs. So, remember, downloading backups wont kill anybody, but try to buy some game occasionally will support those companies that do a good job. See Uncharted, Uncharted 2, GOW, Killzone, inFamous, Castlevania, GT5, and many many others. (And never buy Mafia 2, the game really sucks)

      you are kinda right by its not being fair
      So youre saying that you never PIRATED anything in your life?
      and if you feel so bad why are you on a homebrew site?
      there will ALWAYS be people bootlegging something
      and there will ALWAYS be people legitimately buying the games

      true but it isnt right to back up anyway
      you know a blue ray is hard to break a disk and if anyone does they shouldn't have a ps3

      now i will have the balls enough to say yes i do pirate games because it is in my nature... i literally never updated my ps3 because i knew one day someone will hack the ps3

      what i do with my ps3 is my business alone and no one elses and i do buy SOME games that i really like... so i bootleg and buy... why back up a game that i already have that purely makes no sense...

      for those who love thier (lord Sony) stick with your originals and psn
      for those who love thier bootlegs thier will always be a risk in bricking the system and a risk of being caught

      but actually the developers DO get paid before the game even be released its only the publishers that pay..

      You have just as much access as the next guy to pirate games and software. So don't complain that you're buying the game and everyones else gets it for free, that was your decision to buy it, not anyone else's.

      Also for emulators and ps2 iso's etc, is that not the same as pirating any other game?

      At the end of the day most of the games they knock out these days are shit and i would be gutted if i bought one of them, the good games i buy. Half the games are not worth a Ģ10 from brand new but they will have a Ģ40 tag on em, this might give em a kick up the arse to put more effots into some of these games and maybe people will buy em

      *sigh* this is boring. So Geo's getting sued. Bummer. Let's move on. When are new homebrew or managers coming out?

      I'd like to see a VNC program so I can log into my Linux box remotely through my PS3.

      I'm not against homebrew, in fact I love homebrew and playing old emulators, brings back memories. But pirating new games should not be allowed.

      Yes ofcourse I pirated in my life. But outside watching a movie, or listening a song on my own I don't do anything with it. Pirates should not be able to enjoy the same online experience of the new games. I hope Sony bans and bricks the people who showed themselves on 3.55 cfw.

      To all people crying about Sony not able to brick your consoles... If Microsoft can do it, why not Sony. They corrupt your files, savedata and even ban your ip-adress. Hopefully Sony will do the same.
