Seriously? The DMCA? With the copyright office allowing the average user to "jailbreak" their own personally purchased iphone without legally getting in trouble, there would be next to NO legal problems for individuals who own their own PS3 and decide to "jailbreak" it. They own the device and they can modify it to their hearts content. That does not mean that Sony can honor warranties but it does give precedent in the fact that people when they own their own technology purchased from a manufacturer that they CAN in fact modify their own hardware without fear of legal intervention. Now if they choose to distribute it, that's another legal question. BUT it does not prohibit people from modifying their own hardware. The DMCA has no effect.
