One, if you're using them for programing in a classroom setting, I doubt you need any firmware updates unless you're wasting your institutions cash for some free between class gaming.
Secondly, I'm pretty sure if you were legit you could have gotten DEV kits from Sony for that purpose that didn't need to be hacked to be used as teaching tools.
But sure make outrageous statements on the internet how taking away a feature because a prominent hacker announced he used this feature to circumvent security measures in the system.
If anything there'd be a class action lawsuit if Sony did nothing while the hacker community started modding systems and hacking games to grief paying consumers with wall hacks and the like.
Had the hacker not practically made a press release about cracking the PS3 this wouldn't be happening. Sony knows how much money they lost on PSP because of the hacking/homebrew community.
Games companies don't profit on hardware, so you can't use that strawman. The gaming community knows this, and they also know hacking a system to play "backup" games is really playing pirated games.
I considered installing Linux at one point, but then remembered I'd rather play games on it... If this cuts down on cheaters and griefers on PSN, all the better.
If you wanna ban gambling in everywhere but riverboats, atlantic city casinos, new orleans casinos, "Indian" casinos, card rooms, horse tracks, and the state of nevada...
Oh wait...
But seriously, online gambling doesn't hurt anyone but the ones dumb enough to blow their mortgage, which they would likely do anyway without regulation. Horse racing is using animals and running them into the ground, as well as the jockeys. So if you're gonna ban Online Poker ect, than ban horse racing too.
There's no argument that can justify allowing horse racing to continue but shutting down all online gambling.
Sharing isn't stealing, and once studios realsise that online sharing has actually helped the flagging recording industry, maybe they'll learn to capitalize instead of making every customer a criminal.
Should I sue the banks because i really don't feel like moving money from my account to the power company every month?
Maybe I could sue automakers because I fail to see why I should pay $3.50/gal. for gas.
Oh, I know, I'll sue speaker makers because the recording industry makes bad music and shouldn't have to hear it.
Wait, I've got it. I'll sue verizon, because somene else has bad taste in music doesn't mean I should be subjected to it when I call and get a ring-back tone.
"The music business is a cruel and shallow money trench, a long plastic hallway where thieves and pimps run free, and good men die like dogs. There's also a negative side."
It will be great when the RIAA eats itself from all this greed over material that THEY THEMSELVES DON'T CREATE.
It's a fuckin awesome bit of irony really.
The RIAA doesn't like people downloading music that doesn't belong to them (even if they bought it) yet the musicians who make the music make the least amount of money and have no say in the useage of their content many times.
Granted there are some artists with enough pull to decide some aspects of their career, but many fall victim to the RIAA and their control of the industry top to bottom.
Well yes but if they don't use the PR to build their regular business, then they won't be able to absorb the cost of doing projects like this despite what good they do.
And for all of Bill Gates willy business moves, the guy has never been afraid to share his wealth with charity. He recently gave something to the tune of $600 million for TB research.
So if he uses the microsoft name in helping people become connected to the internet and giving them a passable "computer" than so be it.
Really the only person I find at fault is the person who said no to a free and proven (although a bit buggy of course) OS in the name of open source.
The entire Patent and Copyright systems need to be smashed. It's out of hand what these criminals are getting away with.
I am tired of my tax and consumer dollars being wasted on patents that should never have been granted. Just as I am tired of being made to feel paying someone for some words over instruments is a privalige and that I'm a criminal suspect for wanting to play it on whatever device I choose to.

Amazing, I've been on the CRW bandwagon since 00

Hillarious... You all seem to forget it's the fans that DEMANDED this, if you're not one of what does it fuckin matter to you?
Best part about "teh interweb", people bitch about something ad nasuem, are given what they want, and then bitch about that.
Well, anyone who's seen both the new versions of the OT and the Original cut know it's really not the same thing at all.
Lawyers...
These lawyers really should have to consult their clients before seeking these C&Ds.
Anyone remember how valuable it was to have someone advertise your product not only for free, but with enthusiasum?
