We're talking illegal wares/applications here. Since when do laws stop humanity from doing what they want?
I'm also laughing at the bunch of people now screaming "Piracy will ruin the PS3!" (not here, but on other forums). Afaik we PS3 users are the ONLY gamers who pay for every PS3 game ever sold on this planet. No PS3 gamer has ever pirated a game (soon of course!).
Wii, 360, DS, PC, etc... all are terribly ridden by piracy for years now. Why do they still exist? Because piracy may be a problem, but it's not as big of a problem as the media would like us to think.
I've seen this scenario, 10 times over with the FTA (Free to Air) market.. They get busted but days after clones and new companies pop up all over the place..
