The main issue is not to pirate or not to pirate.
-Remember DRM malware Sony invented for CDs?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sony_BMG_CD_copy_protection_scandal
The problem is that Sony is again pirating a device that was announced as being able to run Linux ("other OS" option now removed).
The user has the right to use a device in any way he pleases.
They have no right to handle law in their own hands.
Sony has a terrible reputation for taking more time and resources trying to avoid piracy instead of inovating and taking good profit of their innovations - I still remember that in a time of 1,4MB media they didn't adapt the minidisk (1992) for computer use in time. They were so worried in protecting their copyright (and dificulting the users creativity and work) that they forgot to earn millions selling their awsome hardware. It's a pitty and a waste...
... and that's why I don't buy a PS3 to play the 2 or 3 games that I would play, and that I can buy anyway. I don't care to pirate so few games. It's just useless!
So, I advise Sony to continue their DRM battle until they get ruined.
Thank you Sony!
