Be ashamed as much as you want. It's still his fault.
Sony had no desire to remove this feature until their protection was broken. Rather than work within the license and structure given to all of us by Sony, he decided to go outside the boundaries. It's always within Sony's rights to revoke access - and, because of him, now they have - for all of us.
And - yes - I know he wasn't trying to pirate. That's not the issue. There is copyright involved in the Hypervisor routines. Copyright that Geohot broke by dissembling the code.
I'm sorry - but if the quest for limited knowledge of the RSX and copyrighted software routines means I don't get to run Linux, that's not a fair trade at all, regardless of best intentions.
I've said all I'm going to say on this particular issue - this is my formal rebuttal to your argument. Since public bickering serves no further purpose, and will inflame an already tense situation further, we will now drop this part of the discussion, and keep this thread on focus. Any further postings on this particular subtopic will be deleted.
Cheers,
