    When a company violates the GPL, the slashdot crowd jumps over them instantly. Now how come you defend the opposite? Be honest, how many people have you seen purchase a PS2 modchip for other purpose than pirating games? And don't bring the backup/fair use bullshit, I have audio Cds I bought in 1990 that still work like the first day. Or do book publishers give you another copy for free just because you spilled coffee on you book? Do you also make a photocopy of every book you buy 'just in case'?

    I'll give you that the xbox modchip can be used for interesting stuff, e.g. running Linux, but PS2? Gimme a break.

    This is why rape is so prevalent.

    if girls made it easier to get in their pants, I wouldn't need to force myself on them.

    It is their fault that I rape them, if they'd just quit laughing at my come on lines, and drop their pants like the whores I know them to be, everyone would be happy, and no one would get raped.

    That is the stupidest argument anyone has ever tried to use to justify piracy. Regardless of whether it is true or not, doesn't legitimize anything.
