[citation][nom]Gamer332[/nom]It's not about not being able to do what you want with your PS3, it is about not disclosing SONY's software IP on the internet when you are not allowed to. Geo posted sensitive info about PS3's encryption on the web without permission from IP holder(SONY).[/citation]
That's only a violation of the DMCA, which is a piece of crap to begin with. In fact, the purpose of the DMCA was to prevent corporations from stealing the technology of other companies via means that up until then were completely legal and common place. Instead, the DMCA is mostly used to bully individuals who aren't really harming the major corporations in any meaningful way (for instance, even though George Hotz posted the encryption details, it's still illegal to sell a PS3 emulator or your own PS3 games using that encryption). Like most legislation passed in the last few decades, the DMCA is just about limiting the rights of citizens in favor of major, and in this case, foreign, corporations.
