Sony would have no actual proof your system was or wasn't jailbroken, Sony would not be looking for such a method of self destruction.
I was not talking about jailbreaking... And I'm pretty sure it would be tested greatly before release.. Could you prove that Sony sabotage your system which was breaking the law?? and Sony has proof of using custom firmware.. it's in your boot logs, and it's in another location.. I don't think the law-suits against Sony would stand up to par.. The FCC and courts take piracy very seriously now days.
But you have a point, It's my opinion and honestly Sony will not take this approach.

The Playstation 3 is our own console so if sony were to brick the PS3 it's your property and that's how you could sue them.
I still don't see the logic behind what your saying.. Yes the PS3 is our property, yes we have a right to defend it.. But on the other side of the fence the firmware and other software on the PS3 are copyrighted property that belong to Sony, so in a way they are entitled to protecting it..
I honestly don't see whats wrong with a company make it so that if someone is using pirated game/movie it'll cause a major system malfunction. You take the risk breaking the law to use it then you shouldn't be able to turn around and try to use the law.
