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)
