PS3 security is "epic fail"

[Terminills]

In the US at least, under the DMCA it most likely is.

Not according to both the library of congress and U.S. District Judge Philip Gutierrez

Has a decision been reached in that case yet?

Government dropped it's case...

That was the exception granted by the library of congress in August if I recall.

From a customers POV?  There are two sides to any sale: the seller's and the  buyer's.  If the two agree on the price and other terms, the sale proceeds.  If not, both parties can go their seperate ways.  

About the only people that might feel aggrieved is those that purchased the first version PS3's to run Linux, and their compensation would be to get a refund when they return the hardware.

What is happening here is the buyer is altering the item in a way that will cause financial harm to the seller-not might, but WILL cause financial harm to the seller.  i don't see how you can justify this, really.

And for those who think Sony "deserve this" eg for removing OtherOS and the Audio Cd rootkit fiasco, you've just admitted that this will be used for none other than piracy, because running OtherOS won't harm them, so what else will if not piracy.

I already intentionally harm Sony... I only buy used games for my ps3 ever since they took away my otheros option.
