It's what we do best here.

Looking at this a bit deeper I'm thinking it's not all that bad. As long as what they are after is genuinely just evidence that the hack was downloaded and his twittering I suppose could be of some use if it's incriminating.

The Youtube stuff is bollox though how can that be of any use for their case, watching a video of that nature isn't illegal in any developed country.

Still don't like it but if I was going all the way with this like Sony is then those things would be prime targets. I suspect the news has been sensationalized to a degree, got took in by that, oops, Not that I agree with any of it on the wider scale but I'm sure the regulars here have already noted me as "anti-sony" so no need to peddle that one. (Not that I was but hey ho, only since this) I do own a PS3 so it does interest me, and a bravia lol...Oh dear.

I'm not even going to try to argue this really. Hotz is accused of breaching DMCA. Which criminalizes circumventing DRM. Which is exactly what hacking your console does. So yes, in essence if Sony wins they can pursue anyone that hacked their console

and it begins >_>

Good job refuting my point :) 

oh please your post will be one of many of people to stubborn and in denial to accept the fact that Sony doesn't give a shit about anyone hacking thier console. You LITERALLY got the proof right there and still you ignore it, I mean for fucks sake was the PS3 NOT the most OPEN console on the market? 'Hell if anything Sony supports people who hack. I don't know what you people got aganist Sony but it gets annoying after a while.

FACT: if all Gehot did was hack HIS console he wouldn't be getting sued by anyone, releasing the keys and tools to the pubic is what he's being sued for, now please don't respond I know EXACTLY what your gonna say, and I don't wanna waste my time. Go ahead and continue to think Sony is trying to butt rape your consumer rights. Lets just agree to disagree.

Yes, lets look at the proof

"...Hotz is accused of breaching the Digital Millennium Copyright Act and other lawsafter he published an encryption key and software tools on his website..."

Now let me unbold the part that you guys are fixated on.

"...Hotz is accused of breaching the Digital Millennium Copyright Act and other laws after he published an encryption key and software tools on his website..."

Now let me bold the part I am talking about

"...Hotz is accused of breaching the Digital Millennium Copyright Act and other laws after he published an encryption key and software tools on his website..."

Oh lookey there. Exactly what I said:

  <---- this is me, agreeing to disagree

look next gen. I want you hack your ps4 if you can, and if and when you do, keep it to yourslef. If Sony sues you I swear I'll give you a full apology, and pay for all your legal bills.

and fyi, I don't have a hacked PS3. 

Doesn't need to be. Its a similar tactic as the RIAA and MPAA. Sony is basically acting like you are pirating some massively illegal content that they have copyrights on all this (patents aren't copyrights). You can't copyright scripts, script somehow falls under patents (which thank god the USA is finally changing its patent laws).

So in a way, if Sony has their way, we all could l at least be fined under the assumption we had intent to crack out systems. Even if we just watch the video on YouTube!
