Hacker group 'Anonymous' attacks Sony and PSN
Apr 5th 2011 12:36PM (Joystiq)See, what a lot of people who agree with these hacking jacka$$es don't understand is that you ARE free to do what you want with the product you own. You can develop your own software for the PS3 if you'd like. You can cut it open and attach a toaster to the side if it strikes your fancy. The thing is, you do NOT own the operating system ON your PS3. Sony does. So what Hotz has done is take Sony's property and change it without their permission. That's illegal. It's the same way with any other piece of software. You may own the DVD it came on but the software itself is owned by the company that created it unless otherwise specified. That's why you have a license agreement and a ton of legal info in every software box. They are licensing you to use the software but usually you are not allowed to change that software without permission.
Summary: All Sony is doing is protecting it's own property. You don't own the operating system, they do. You DO own the hardware and can change it any way you'd like including installing your own software after wiping it if you can get anything working as long as it doesn't use their OS at all.
Anon is just a bunch of children who want what they want without thinking anything through or caring about how it affects anyone else. Bunch of selfish assholes.
