I know they sued Datel for releasing hardware that broke the security on the PSP 3000. Going after someone attempting to profit with a physical product? That I understand, especially when you do it before the product comes to market.
But all these guys did was make the research public, much the same way the hi-def DVD master key was pass around online.

But I do agree this isn't surprising for Sony, "Sony is Exhibit A in the abuse of intellectual- property laws by corporations that believe they have all the rights -- including how products may be used after sale -- with users and purchasers having no rights at all." Rootkit anyone?
