Although that may well be the judge's intention in this case, the problem that I see is in generating that "great public outcry" in the first place.
We've managed a great Slashdot outcry so far, but how many average people will ever hear about this case or care if they did? PS2 owners make up only a limited subset of the population, and most of them will never have the urge to mod their system anyway. Without political pressure from the public, and enough of it that the politicians hear it over the lobbying of the corporations, nothing is going to change.
