MOD POWER ABUSE
charlequin said:As I mentioned in the previous update thread, this thread will be for discussion of and assistance with the use of homebrew on the PS3 system, within the rules of NeoGAF. This means that:
- As always, advocacy of piracy, linking to pirated materials, providing advice for or guides on committing piracy, or otherwise engaging in inappropriate behavior with regard to piracy will result in moderator action.
- Engaging in complaining about this thread being allowed to exist, accusing posters in this thread of piracy, attempting to start debates about piracy or the ethics of homebrew, or otherwise trying to grind an axe for one's personal beliefs regarding homebrew legitimacy will also result in moderator action.
I and other moderators will be reading this thread. We will certainly extend posters the benefit of the doubt, but these rules will be enforced to keep conversation here productive. Please try to keep things productive and respectful in here. Thanks!

How we arrived at this point:
BBC break down of the PS3 being hacked
Summary of the PS3 being hacked
Following the conference, acclaimed hacker GeoHot released the so called Sony Master key that is used to sign any application that runs on the Playstation 3. With this key, others were able to get a hold of every other key including the PSP master keys (Kirk keys).
