The authorities are not going to arrest you for running Linux on your console. There's a whole community of people doing it. It is LEGAL.
Don't believe me? Well, you can even [url=http://us.fixstars.com/store/index.php?submit=hardware&submitimg[hardware][sony]=1]
buy Linux preinstalled on a PS3.The guy was NOT arrested for enabling people to run free software on their consoles. He was arrested for enabling people to circumvent the DRM and run pirated games.
