I'm sure this kind of "publicity" sold you a lot of Playstation 3's.

In addition to that is all the people who originally had no idea of what it is about will ask, "what's he getting in trouble for?" "Hacking the ps3 so it can play copied games." "You can do that with the PS3?!" "Yup, and the PSP... Here, I'll show you how."

Different kind of hacking you're talking about. He really hacked into their systems and got clients private information - name, address, phone, emails, passwords, and possibly credit card info.

Hacking and cracking are not the same thing, although they are both often referred to as hacking.

Hey Huffington maybe if you do a spell check once and awhile you would avoid some errors. Look at the title...
Anyways, sound to me like they found a fall guy, it can't be that simple that one kid was responsible for all of that calamity.
