    And the incidence of cheating is far lower.

    IS it 0? No? But is it acceptably low? YES

    Wrong in so many ways.

    You own the copy of the software, and are free to modify it as you wish.

    You analogy is SO flawed it's incredible you could think it relevant.

    THe other OS update is not "voluntary" - Sony illegally removed capability you paid for and was advertised on "fat" PS3's: namely access to PSN AND Other OS.

    Sony was in the wrong on this, and continues to be in the wrong.

    No, there is a substantially non-infringing, non-hacking se.

    The fact Sony forced people to re-enable capabiltiy that was illegally denied then by Sony means that Sony are ultimately at fault.

    Your precious MW2 is just a casualty of something SONY caused.

    Wrong. What was irresponsible was the blind faith by the developer in an unverified security system

    Irrelevant, he allowed you to have your console back to how it was pre-other os removal.

    The only people who allowed the lobby hack were the inane developers who blindly trusted an untested security system

    So, gay animals arent "natural" either? Do couples that cant have kids lose their right to be a "natural" relationship?

    Damn you're ignorant.

    What makes you think the democrats can be considered "left wing"?

    Slightly less rabidly right leaning does not make you left wing. Not by a long shot

    Actually he cleared with tthe original prosecutor that it was ok to leave. So he did.

    ANother prosecutor, who does not have the legal authority in Sweden to issue an EAW, decided she wanted him back for questioning

    He offered to do so in a place convenient to himself, just not to travel to Sweden - which is fine.

    The Swedish case is *poor* beyond reckoning.

    Not in the UK it doesn't. Small Claims Court, about 3 - 4 hours of your time (which your claim includes compensaion for) to cire teh relevant portions of the sales of goods acts, et al, and about £40 to file. IF Apple turn up (unlikely) they willhave just cost themselves more than the new phone, never mind the preparation time.

    This is a *strong* system in the UK - normaly the threat alone (well, reserving the right to file and stating a deadline) will obtain a positive response

    They dont have the right equipment, nor hold the appropriate certification, to perform secure data destruction.

    The right way to go about a *specialist* task is to hire the appropriate *specialists* in their field. Not general IT staff who have neither the time, qualification or equipment to do the job properly

    Proper KYC exposes those shell games very quickly, and you're simply removed from the list of approved providers.
