Few people consider buying a TV or laptop a moral choice, and the consumer base is quite large.
But talented developers are in much shorter supply, and take it from one personally, who you choose to code for is much more of a moral choice.
The programmers you will one day be looking to hire are the ones reading the tech news sites right now.
And they will remember.

Back to your analogy, your farmer could hire the person who is making all the oranges in 10 min. Thus making more money.

Dont u get the point? It is not about making it more secure or anything... Sony hiring George Hotz it is like letting him tell them "in your face mother****er"
They get them mad, they hack their system, they make them lose money, make their work harder, in other words destroy them... And yet you spect them to put a happy face, but not just that, but hire them/give them money?
You wont get it until u own a componay/business and u see someone destroy it (guess you would like to beat the shit out of him instead of congratz him for the damage)

I am error
looks like norway are on side!
Norway's Consumer Council, an independent government agency, has received multiple complaints from PlayStation 3 owners over the removal of the "Other OS" functionality of the console. It has now taken the complaint to Norway's Consumer Ombudsman, with the Council claiming that Sony breached the Norwegian Marketing Control Act by removing a key feature after sale.
"Sony claims a universal right to change or remove functionality from the gaming console," Øyvind H. Kaldestad of the Consumer Council told Ars. "The Consumer Council strongly believes there needs to be a limit to what constitutes a reasonable change to products we buy—and that terms of service that grant the manufacturer full access to literally downgrade the product or limit the functionality are unreasonable and in clear violation of the Marketing Control Act."
There's also the issue of Sony's wording. "When a company use terms like 'updates' or 'upgrades,' it is reasonable to expect a significant improvement of the product and not the risk of being stuck with a lesser product," said the Council's Thomas Nortvedt in a statement.
