Sony under siege by Anonymous

Except you're wrong and that's not even close to a valid comparison. This mod allowed people to steal directly from the PSN and play pirated games on their PS3. This mod opened up the floodgates for everyone in the world to steal from Sony and they are absolutely not wrong for seeking compensation from the person who intentionally, knowingly burst the dam.

Sure it gives them the capability to get another mod that has nothing to do with the original jailbreaking of the PS3, but it doesn't give them the tools to pirate games and DLC.
