He is considered one of the most famous hackers of the Playstation 3 - and must now deal with Sony in a lawsuit. Golem.de has asked the programmer Egorenkov Alexander, better known as "Graf_Chokolo" on the PS3, the problems of the Playstation Network and Anonymous.
House searches, confiscation of computer Parks: Since February 2011, Sony Computer Entertainment law against living in southern Germany, Alexander Hacker Egorenkov, the better under his pseudonym "Graf_Chokolo" is known. He is accused, among other things, to have been involved in deciphering the copy of the Playstation 3 and published for the hack needed to have data on the Internet. Trailers can support him in his legal battle with Sony to cash donations on his blog.
The interview was conducted via mail, over the current proceedings could not comment Egorenkov; Golem.de waived at his request to the publication of a photo. The pseudonym "Graf_Chokolo" refers to Schokula Count, a vampire addicted to chocolate, from the Simpsons TV series.

Golem.de: Did you actually have a Playstation 3 - and what you use the console in particular?
Alexander Egorenkov: I had a lot of PS3 consoles, three of his own and I was hired recently. All were taken away from me. I use the Playstation 3 only to develop and reverse engineering, games for the PS3 I do not, do not care for it. Games I find boring, reverse engineering and programming, however I do a lot of fun. GameOS I hardly use, mainly on the thought of Linux on the PS3, the development of new Linux kernel driver for PS3.
Golem.de: How do you see yourself as a hacker, gamer, coder, Internet activist ,...?
Egorenkov: I see myself primarily as a coder, reverse engineer and then maybe a bit of a hacker. Above all, I am very interested in technical knowledge, which is also the reason why I started reverse engineering on the PS3. I will help him a lot of fun to find something new self-employed, especially on the operation of an operating system and hypervisor.
Golem.de: If companies like Sony, but for example, Nintendo or Microsoft or Google, your opinion, evil? What practices of the companies annoy you?
Egorenkov: All these companies bothers me that they are very monopolistic. They believe that the purchase of their products somehow binds to them. I also like it not at all, if someone says that - just because I buy something from him - he has any rights over me, or that he can tell me where to go. And Sony is trying. And as the Sony "OtherOS" support has removed the company has not asked his client whether they are good or not. Why should I listen to Sony, when they tell me to stop I do? further.
The problem 'Other OS'
Golem.de: What is wrong with you that Sony, select "Other OS" has turned off?
Egorenkov: I think a lot of how I want to have Linux or FreeBSD on the Playstation 3 because it is much better suited for programming than GameOS. GameOS is only to play well with Linux, however, it is easy to develop new programs for the PS3 and thus expand their own PS3 with new functionality to exploit the full power of the PS3. GameOS allows us not and is not nearly as mature as Linux.
Golem.de: How do you see the current rules to protect intellectual property, for example in terms of copy protection systems?
Egorenkov: I think that something is being abused, unfortunately, very much on big companies like Sony. Sony has money and power and believes it can do what they want. Unfortunately, this is the reality. I see it very differently.
Golem.de: What do you think about the actions of Anonymous, which was also fighting on your behalf against Sony?
Egorenkov: I am Anonymous and all the other very grateful for the support they offer me. If we give in without a fight ever, then we will soon large companies like Sony to make life a living hell and tell us all where it's at. This must not allow them, and I am also willing to answer for my principles. The last PSN attacks have shown us how incompetent and negligent Sony deal with our private data. Many blame the hackers out, but the truth is that Sony is the main culprit. Sony is responsible for our private data!
Golem.de, would you still want more support from the community, and in what form?
Egorenkov: I wish above all that more people would show some backbone. Then Sony could not afford everything.
Golem.de: Can you tell us a little about yourself: What do you do what interests you?
Egorenkov: Professionally, I work as a programmer. Reverse engineering and programming is not all that interests me. I enjoy reading classic literature and enjoy going to the theater, opera and the ballet. (Ps)

I love how people like him think they are fighting some noble cause. It's like dude, you are mad they want to sue people who allow their games to be hacked like wtf. Even drug dealers dont think what they do is right. They do it because they want to or have to, they don't act like selling drugs is like trying to stop sex trafficking.
Good analogy +rep for u

If you purchase something, you have the right to modify it in any way you like w/ the exception of software.
If a system such as the PS3 is locked down in such a way that you must reverse-engineer that coding, then personally I believe that it should be legal, just like it is for computers and mobile phones.
This is Sony's fault for removing the Linux feature, and since then forcing people to update to their latest firmware.
What people do then w/ CFW is up to them, and if a large chunk of them want to pirate and whatnot then so be it, they can be punished separately.
It's all about rights for me and a lot of other people, because if you can't modify the system how you see fit after purchasing it then essentially you're no more than renting it from Sony.

They won't give up, they're only interested in money and they know they can fight anyone who stands up against them out of court with legal fees.
It sucks but it's true, the corporations have all the power in this world.

Was this translated or something?
Because I thought Graf was pretty fluent in English but this interview says otherwise
