He can have all the lawyers he likes.
But under DMCA he's already guilty so he has to prove that he hasn't hacked the PS3.

Seriously, what I wanted to know is how much donation the guy get? My guess is not much... Leeches and hypocrites, when comes to money, they withdraw themselves... You know what I'm talking about, like those bravely shout "how can I send money to him/her, I want to help, I want to send an message."
Peace!
