Some say this is just because of market share but there is more to it. The open source ideology has made the small marketshare of Linux even more unappealing. You can't expect much support from proprietary companies when you denounce them as morally inferior.
Stallman was wrong in his expectation that hobbyists could compete with commercial companies. Sorry but I do not consider Tux Racer to be a competitor to Gran Turismo. Stallman went too far, it's time for everyone to admit it. It is ok to prefer open source but there is nothing wrong with proprietary software.
And in analyzing the systems to fix the OtherOS ability they came across a partial crack in part of the system, but the hole wasn't big enough to re-enable OtherOS, so they just kept on working.
Problem here is that you have absolutely no proof of this. You just want to believe that the USB hack was created out of revenge.
The other problem with your rant is that you didn't acknowledge that Hotz broke out of the hypervisor before OtherOS had been removed. He used Linux within OtherOS to do it, and that is why Sony removed it. They did not remove it randomly to be dicks.
Their motivation was piracy and money, not revenge. If Sony had reopened OtherOS that same group still would have tried to sell $150 usb cards containing the hack.
Just read this:

The recent usb hack didn't restore OtherOS. It was all about piracy, hence the $150 price tag and piracy advertisement.
There was no people's crackerz army that took revenge against Sony.

A programmer already broke it down:

It's a cut and paste job, and a poor one at that.

Looks like a cut and paste job with amateurish renaming.
Have you even looked at the code? The functions are taken line by line.

Does the logic flow of the code need to be the same as well? This goes beyond interface interaction.
Sorry but that is a fact that is independent of any hatred you may have of Oracle.
Renamed a string to s???? Why even bother?
I guess that means most websites then. Nothing to see folks, move along.
Do you ever take a day off from M$ hating or is it kind of a full time burden?
#1 tech news site and it doesn't have a Microsoft section
Please bury this comment I think it might be borderline heresy.
Facebook runs on Windows Server actually.
But you still make a good point.

Windows Server 2008 only requires 512 mb of RAM
glad we have that covered

It was the Air Force and the US government is not going to tell Sony to change their policies just because some government IT guy made a mistake.
No because at least with used sales there was a new purchase at some point.
There was just some game company employee a while back that compared used sales to piracy. It wasn't the position of the company.
We don't want the VISTA BAD crowd to find out that Vista was fixed a while ago and that Windows 7 is just Vista with a new task bar.
Whoever was in charge the hardware made a mistake.
When choosing hardware for a cluster long term support should be considered. Sony was a poor choice in this regard.

I still don't understand what kind of lame ass pirates when there are so many ways to get cheap used games these days.

that's why they removed it.
Some guy broke through the hypervisor with Linux, I thought this was common knowledge.
The pc gets skipped on quite a few sports games as well.
Building a server with a Sony console is a freaking stupid idea.
MMOs are the future of pc gaming thanks to the entitlement mentality among most pc gamers.
