though sony has been dealing with the legal and metaphysical struggles associated with geohot's ps3 jailbreak discovery for some time now, the company had yet to release an official statement on the matter until today. the statement comes via a playstation blog post and warns users:

''''''notice: unauthorized circumvention devices for the playstation 3 system have been recently released by hackers. these devices permit the use of unauthorized or pirated software. use of such devices or software violates the terms of the 'system software license agreement for the playstation 3 system' and the 'terms of services and user agreement' for the playstation network/qriocity and its community code of conduct provisions. violation of the system software licence agreement for the playstation 3 system invalidates the consumer guarantee for that system. in addition, copying or playing pirated software is a violation of international copyright laws. consumers using circumvention devices or running unauthorized or pirated software will have access to the playstation network and access to qriocity services through playstation 3 system terminated permanently.

''''''to avoid this, consumers must immediately cease use and remove all circumvention devices and delete all unauthorized or pirated software from their playstation 3 systems.''''''

we've provided a handy summation for our friends who lack long attention spans:
