PS3/PSP Masterkeys and homebrew

[Cheemo]

So, the PS3 and PSP root keys have been found by those hackers of fail0verflow.

This means that anything compatible with the PS3 and signed with these root keys will run on the PS3. This means that Sony was apparently putting all their eggs in one basket with this and it could mean that Sony is royally forgeted over because if they patch this everything made before the change would stop working and they'd have to patch everything(according to what I've read.) There is currently a custom firmware that enables the "Install Package Files" item on the PS3 menu but removes the Trophy Collection and Saved Data Utility options. So, this means possible future homebrew on the PS3, but also pirates and cheating utilities D:

Also, if you've updated to PSP firmware 6.31 or 6.35 and want homebrew, now's your chance.

Yay, no more games for the Ps3! How exciting! There is a reason why not many games come out for the PSP, due to piracy, the same thing will most likely happen here.

Piracy works on Xbox, that still sells a ton of games.

When I read masterkey I instantly thought of the M4 Masterkey system.

Except the Xbox's masterkeys aren't released, nor can you have control over the entire system.

And?  How does that change piracy in any way?  I guess you don't need to mod your system, but that doesn't really matter.
