Isn't this what geohot is doing. His defence is actually an offence on the laws relevant to the case. That's why he has admitted to everything in a very attention seeking way. If he proves what he wants it makes Sony's argument null and void. That seems a pretty straight-forward plan, I guess Jaffe just isn't too familiar with the courtroom which is a good thing because I love his work as a game designer.

I could care less if someone hacks their own system to be honest. In the same way I don't drink, but don't care if you do. I don't look down on someone who drinks at a party, or uses an illegal drug, I'm not law enforcement. But if you get arrested for possession, or hit someone with your car while intoxicated, I'm not helping you. You did it knowing full well the consequences. I never feel sorry for anyone who fails a drug test at my work place. You knew the rules of the game. Even though I may feel that what you do at your house on the weekend is your business, company policy does not. Damn you Jay XD you stole my shotgun example!

You can always have your vehicle inspected by the DMV/DOT and possibly have it reclassified, though. If you, say, change something in a way that affects its road worthiness, and it is deemed unsafe, you will get in trouble (like not securely mounting things on a roof, etc). Plus, emissions regulations is another one. Point is, just because you buy something, you aren't necessarily entitled to do what you please with it (buy a shotgun and shorten the barrel, can't do it as laws specify an exact minimum length lol; you also can't go around shooting people, even though that's what they were, essentially, designed to do) going on with the comment about the cars, it is illegal to, essentially, hack security devices on cars, as they have to meet industry safety standards, which are set by laws.

One of the greatest game designers there has ever been. everything else is irrelevant. also hackers are in the wrong, when you purchase something you can't do what the **** you want with it because you *own* it, stupid retards. why can't they just use a computer like the rest of us to run their homebrews and linux David Jaffe is a god, a legend in the industry.
