It's never pleasant to see someone's livelyhood about to be destroyed, but it's pretty clear that he's capitalizing on the situation and it's not pretty.

Cant believe people actually donated to this clown. He acts like an arrogant little b**** and then he gets served and then pretends like he is humble and he does things out of the goodness of his heart. For the people my ass, it is all for his ego. I have nothing against hacking, but this guy is annoying.

The article says he's a "Famed Rapper", so I imagine that's his job.

Why support someone who is destroying the industry

Activision is destroying the industry more. And so is every other publisher with their yearly releases, dumbing down games, making them shorter, day one DLC, price raises.

Microsoft is charging for online, and only making kinect games.

What's wrong with wanting to use all the features on the PS3?

For that reason alone I hope Sony serves his ass pretty good.

This whole thing needs to end, he needs to stay away from the hacking scene and he needs a job.

Don't know how to feel about this. It is his property so I believe he should have the right to do what he wants with it. But putting the root key online is another thing. Hack your console, but keep it to yourself.

Like many before have said... he's just an attention whore. And I bet he's loving every minute of this and even more considering there's people falling for his BS and donating money so he keeps up his act.

I'm sure you did.

I doubt he raised that much money, unless a good chunk of it was from one group/person. Also, the small part of the article that I read states that he raised enough money for the first phase of the legal defense in 18 hours.

I think he might have a jawb. Also, I don't see you defending Apple because he jailbroke the iphone/ipod.
