"knowledge of online investigative practices and online databases (e.g. how to find owner, administrator, ISP associated with a given domain name, etc.)"



Sony recently took famed iPhone hacker George Hotz to court after he and another group of hackers unlocked the PlayStation 3's security and later published the data online.

Since then, homebrew applications to run pirated software have hit the net, and one of Sony's major first-party titles, Killzone 3, was reportedly leaked two weeks before its release."

Sony could solve all of their problems by doing 2 things.

1. Bring back other os :3
2. Let us have homebrew with limits.

Do a barrel roll!
Problem is, Sony is blind to the difference between homebrew and piracy

They are just like a child asked to share it's toy, ignorant and stubborn
