Sony is crossing some extremely thin lines in the legal world. Protecting their system? I think not.
Agreed, What sony is trying to protect is their own a$$.
In recent light of the LG vs Sony lawsuit, LG allegies Sony stole key information and put it in the PS3. Using the new hacking ability to look inside LG was able to see that Sony had stolen their IP and used it for profit.
