This is simply not true. Unsigned code came before piracy. OtherOS kept people wanting to run code on their console happy, removing it was a severe mistake.

And don't put words into the mouth of the PSJailbreak authors. The PSJailbreak allows unsigned code to run, that is why they made it first and foremost (they need unsigned code for piracy), they saw that they can get piracy and went for it. Anything to drive the sales, right? And we still don't know who's behind PSJailbreak, and if they are or aren't in the 'homebrew scene'.

What 'pirate method'?

'DVD/HDDVD/BluRay scene' we're comparing consoles to media now? Get your act together.

PSJailbreak did not come from the homebrew scene and you cannot honestly think people were going to pay $150 just to run homebrew that didn't even exist. You said I should not ascribe PSJailbreak to be for piracy and yet in the same breath you devote them to the homebrew side. At best, you could say that they tie. OtherOS does not count as it is still restricted by the hypervisor.

The pirate method I was referring to is the USB descriptor buffer overrun.

The technological measures protecting HDDVDs and BluRay are as tough as any used by the gaming consoles. Even still, SlySoft in particular manages to deal with new hurdles faster than the rest of doom9.
