If this goes on, then any emulator developer should stop right now, because this is what they do to know how they have to emulate the hardware. Hypervisor decryption and emulation is one of the most important things any emulator developer does. Now all of you are against emulators? Don't be so naive.

Woah, thats good shit lol. I am sure he knew they were going to come before they came. He probably just brushed it off and then BOOM.

Graf hasn't released any custom firmware

Sony are just heavy handed cunts, who need to get out of the past. With their jumped up old school japanese heartless attitudes. (Not racist, I'm referring to old japanese buisness style, which is how it was)

Get a clue bud, uploading and publicly admitting what?

His work on exploiting the HV!? He's done nothing wrong, exactly like geohot, but this is even less difficult to defend against ignorant people.

The law is the law...Ummm, yes...but you do realise this man hasn't actually been found guilty of anything.

If SONY continues with this, Graf_chocolo's leaks lead to nothing, because there will be no good hackers left that can actually do something with the code.

Well played, Sony.

He has been completely open that he's been working on this stuff, you don't know what you're talking about. If you don't follow the details don't talk like you do thanx.

This guy has done nothing except release some information. He's hasn't released custom firmware, or anything copyrighted by Sony.

VGchartz is the only forums (other than Sony official ones) where Sony is supported in this nonsense. I was warned for calling someone a fanboy here the other day, but crikey it's hard not to link the two things...All the Sony fans are supporting Sony to the hilt...Nobody gave a rats arse when the Xbox 360 was jtag hacked and wii etc. The PSN hole has been fixed, really don't know what you guys problem is.

Where's the free thinking?

Graf's work hasn't exactly been groundbreaking. He's nowhere near as talented as geohot for example. There's  a far few people left who are above his level of skill and still interested in hacking the PS3.

Seems to me people think because they have the name "hacker" means they must have been up to no good pirating and what not. So they think Sony are doing good by catching these people.

But that isn't the case at all. These guys are honest and open about what they do and what they do is for private use, they haven't released anything.

In contrast other companies actually support this work. Look at whats happened with Kinect. All those hacks for it that people came up with. You don't see Microsoft beating down some dudes door taking away his Kinect dancing robot because that wasen't what the device was designed for! You don't see Android beating down all the doors of the people who create stuff for its open source network.

The reason why Sony are getting a beating in the media and on all the other games websites is because it boils down to freedom of using your product. That is what the case is about and what the courts will decide on. Wether you own your product or not. If you buy something you don't have the right to do anything to it. It must be left in the state you bought it. This could have massive reprecussions for gamers. Have you swapped your harddrive? Do you install custom mods to games? Do you maybe use a cheat? etc etc.

So pretty much those defending it are saying "if i pay £400 for a console i don't think i should own it, it should still be owned by the manafacturer. I am not allowed to alter it or change anything at all. And if i do i can go to jail or get a fine".

Which is just stupid.

I wasn't completely serious when writing this, but the " hacker lineup" is getting thinner, that's for sure. Geohot and Graf_Chocolo both are incapable of doing something, or they are really f*cked, and even Mathieulh closed his PS3wiki and protects his Twitter account now.
