The PS3 got hacked. So Sony turned off an otherwise useful and legitimate feature that some people paid for. Then that got hacked. So Sony can turn the OtherOS feature back on now: it is no longer required to hack the PS3, which was their argument for removing it. Sony are clearly unable to stop hackers. But they are quite good at fucking their customers.
This "enable massive piracy" claim sounds really scary. You do know, that right now, there are millions of vehicles out there that can all be used to commit crime, murder people, crash into banks and run off with ATMs, etc. And yet, these criminal enabling machines just lying around (OMG theres two outside my house right now), there is no outbreak of "massive vehicular crimes".
