Sony Sued Over Pulling PS3 "Other OS"

Ha! Finally somebody's got things right. Anthony Ventura of California has filed a class-action lawsuit against Sony for pulling their "Other OS" feature which allowed users of the original PS3 (the fat one, not the slim one) to install a full Linux OS on their PS3. Users can opt to not install the update, but they lose the right to play on the Sony network, update their games via online features, play new Blu-ray discs, and from what I can tell, potentially lose the ability to play all copyrighted content if the system is somehow flagged and blacklisted for having an old firmware (which, by the way, sounds suspiciously big-brotherish. I'm looking at you, Sony rootkit problems!). Sony claims it's for security reasons, but this comes suspiciously close to the announcement by Geohot that he was able to use Linux running on his PS3 to gain access to other parts of the PS3 that Sony thought were protected. It's nice to see people exercising their rights to do whatever the hell they want with their products and fighting back when the big companies try to take that away from them.
