when the common man loses more rights (no shocker) it's rather disappointing...

ha..I don't even own a PS3...

I guess you haven't heard, we no longer OWN the shit we 'buy', it's more of RENTING it from them, now.
The day comes when you won't even be legally able to put a sticker on it, or casemod(since looking the SAME as everyone is kind of boring)

QUOTE(431unknown @ Jan 28 2011, 02:09 PM) Best thing about the 360 is xbox live. M$ runs a tighter online ship so to speak. So what if it costs 6$ a month I'd rather pay to play without cheaters then play for free with them.

What about the part where you have trolls only PRETENDING to want to host an online match, only to kick everyone because of some 'god complex'? Better at x game than the host/lack of a mic; whiny n00b attack, followed by a kick, and prompt abuse of the 'vote system'.
Sure doesn't sound worth being ripped off any more than we already are if we can't even have a decent game online.
And I know you'll say 'add friends', and that's just it, I don't HAVE any >_>

for sloshy, maybe its relevant

Code:

It also criminalizes the act of circumventing an access control, whether or not there is actual infringement of copyright itself.

from wikipedia

I guess that makes sense... the only problem is that we have fair-use exceptions for jailbreaking phones and ripping DVDs (as of recently); shouldn't hacking consoles be included there (even if it isn't)? Seems pretty fair-use to me; my Wii is now 50 times as awesome now that I can watch DVDs, play backups (yes, legal backups), and so on, with it. PS3 should be the same... though a total private key leak is pretty harsh. I can totally understand where Sony's coming from.

All we want is OtherOS and better homebrew support, Sony! Why did you have to take it away?

golden · Jan 29, 2011

we should make a group effort and set up a donation box here at GPAtemp for defense funds for these guys Geohot deserves a good lawyer to kick sony's corporate ass. I'd donate if costello sets up something.

Wabsta · Jan 29, 2011

I dont really get it.
Is my mirror/copy of geohotz's website with the private key illegal now?
Also, is it on the Netherlands too? Or just the USA?

ars25 · Jan 29, 2011

they could just do a monthly firmware update to the ps3 and poof it will be hard for hackers to find flaws in the firmware that or CHECK the firmware for holes in the security of the firmware so exploits wont start popping up from hackers that find them really quick easy as that plus they can't block what hackers put on the internet it's nearly impossible because they could just fond another place to put them or people will leach them on other site also going after cerrtain hackers wont work they are one in a few hundreds if not thousands of hackers that are making hacks for the ps3 anyways how far are we even into hacking the ps3 3-5 % come on look at the psp it is fully hacked (all phats and some 2000's) while the rest of the 2000's and 3000's are semi hackable all they did was release keys which we used to sign some homebrew they haven't done any thing that serious like make a iso loader for the ps3 (other than the one from the jail break one which you still need the original disc to play your backups and the jail break firmware ) and lawsuits that i under stand they pretty much broke into the servers of sony and release the keys they used to sign i think and used them to sigh homebrew so i stand here waiting for sony's next move in the hacker problem and hopefully watch them fail on there lawsuit

Nintendo and Microsoft only care about stopping piracy, while Sony wants to entirely wipe out the homebrew scene. Doesn't any company understand they stand no chance against the whole internet?

1/27/2011 Update: Judge Illston has granted the TRO against George Hotz despite the venue issue still being contested by Hotz's attorney. And I'm out of town. Since CMU has a west coast campus in California and is therefore subject to her jurisdiction, I have disabled my mirror until I can get back to Pittsburgh and look more closely at the current state of things.

Then early this morning DMCA takedowns started to get received by the various scene developers, first kmeaw, a good coder behind a working CFW, got one:

I have just received a DMCA takedown notice

Next graf_chokolo, a now world-famous coder for his wonderful PS3 'decryption' skills, posted the following on Xorloser's Blog, that his GIT has been taken down by Sony:

So are these people going to stand up for what they belive in or crawl under their beds and hide?

The suenami is coming.

What Suenami, sounds to me like the hackers are still at work....who cares about these ass a nine take down orders...no one's listening, I just so tired of it all just which they'd give up already!!! I mean how do you expect to stop hackers when they know all the same crap that the game companies know!

Nujui · Jan 29, 2011

I guess it's time to wait and see how this all turns out.

xDarkAngelx · Jan 29, 2011

This is getting really messy...really quick.

Sony is an evil company that spits in the face of its consumers.

After we helped them gain near total market dominance with the PS1 and PS2, they "rewarded" our loyalty by releasing a $600 console.

There is no company more greedy, evil and arrogant. (No, not even Activision or EA.)

And the best part is... All these lawsuits will only make people hate them even more.

I've told you before Sony, you're cursed this gen. Better call a Priest.

XXLANCEXX · Jan 29, 2011

Last Game im buying is MVC 3 other than that with the security keys on games and this whole retarted case Sony CAN KISS MY FUCKIN ASS

Oveneise · Jan 29, 2011

Wow... Sony sure is butthurt over this, aren't they? If anything, they should be THANKFUL their system was the last to get hacked this gen. Good luck, Geohot, you're going to need it. Sony's going to be relentless on this case.

*stuff kinda disorganized probably by error*

Christ, stop crying. A PS2 is what, $60 used? Buy one and play your PS2 games on it. It's not that hard. I'd be fine skipping out on PS2 compatibility for a cheaper PS3 model. I buy a PS3 to play PS3 games, not to play PS2 games.

I mean, I think Sony should just give up instead of sending out this "black suit brigade" of lawyers, but stop getting a fucking hemorrhoid over it. Sony's a company that wants to protect its assets. Saying "DOWN WITH SONY FOR TRYING TO PREVENT PEOPLE FROM ILLEGITIMATELY MODIFYING THEIR SHIT!" is stupid. Outrage over their wave of lawsuits might be a little found, but it's just in their attempt to prevent hackers from keeping up with them. Not exactly the most ethical way to do it, but it's a way.

Just stop crying, I'm getting sick of all this "DOWN WITH SONY" and "I PIRATE THEIR GAMES JUST TO STICK IT TO THE MAN." Yeah, sure you do. You pirate games because they're free, not to make some statement. Every pirate pirates their games because they're free.

Could you at least log this bullshit conspiracy theory right between "The moon landing never happened!" and "The US government was behind 9/11!"?

Did you even read what he said? He was not outlining a conspiracy theory, he was expressing hope that there isn't malicious intent on the part of the parent company towards its consumers when it comes to use of sold hardware. Forgive me, but I find your act of meandering cynicism irritating. You could have objected to his lack of corroborating evidence in his assessment of the situation, or actually made an an effort to clarify the hardware/software issue in 360 backwards compatibility. Instead, you just jumped down his throat and tried to silence him with baseless and bizarre accusations. Deconstructive much?

I hope Sony draws out this whole process so long Hotz is in debt for the rest of his life.

Man that geofag is annoying.

ImpulsE69 · Jan 29, 2011

They are just pissed because they probably used the same security on the PSP2, and now have to go back and redo it ;P

Look, I understand geohot is a attention whore. However, if Sony wins, there will be a new precedence set. Just hoping Sony wins because you dislike geohot is just silly, and childish. Don't tell me you've never relished attention. Just think about it for a second. Is it arrogance when you have the skill and means to back it up? He has every right to be proud, and release things that will make everyone's systems be more like the PS3 slogan: It only does everything. It's now getting close to doing that. Besides, I believe you will never have even half the skills geohot has and continues to hone.

1234turtles · Jan 29, 2011

i personally hope people will stop hackig the ps3 so there wont be frequent firmware updates because my internet connection wont allow me to update my ps3 without a error code last firmware update i had to go to my public libraby and download the firmware to a usb drive

DJPlace · Jan 29, 2011

i don't know what's going on here but it looks screwed up on both ends...

Scruffy · Jan 29, 2011

The only problem I really have with this is the fact that most of the "prime" information against geohotz was either wrong or just plain silly. If they even had one shred of evidence that even slightly proved their point I wouldn't have a problem with this, but it seemed like everything they showed was just incorrect evidence.
Now, should Sony have a right to defend their system against pirates? yes, but not at the expense of making a mockery out of the remnants of our court system. Just do what microsoft or nintendo does, work on some AP, watch it get hacked, rinse & repeat. It's simple.
