But most of the money isn't in the vault. It's on the computers. I agree that most of the work has been way overblown.

Access to the HV, memory, and GPU are things that are wanted and don't involve pirating. It would be great if their was an alternative DLNA controller/renderer available. Frankly, browsing hundreds of albums and videos sucks with the XMB. Using 100s of different BT devices would be great.
