When Sony Attacks, Police Raid graf_chokolo's home

[DarkCrudus]

It seems Sony is not happy with the long process of using American civil courts to fight off the PS3 hackers, and have decided to step up the war game to the next level, and have now got the German police on their side to raid early this morning graf_chokolo's home and take all his computers!

[Sotoro]

Wow, ok it's really time, that the hackers release the last unknown decryption keys - sony is going to far...

 

[Law]

And to prove it, i kept my word and uploaded all my HV reversing stuff.
Upload it everywhere so SONY couldn’t remove it easily.

I think he just fucked himself over. What a childish little [nope].

You guys should imagine if Nintendo were this proactive. They'd have gotten more than just kongsnutz xD.

Madness... this is SONY!

but wth sony? you're going too far!

 

[thedicemaster]

is it really legal what they did?
as far as i know what he did was really nothing more than violating the psn ToS/license agreement which holds very little legal weight in europe.

exactly.

- he has himself to blaim, it may sound outrages looking at it from an anti-sony side, but they have legal right to do so.

It's standard procedure with piracy charges.

And Sony didn't "do" anything. They don't control the police. They filed piracy charges with the court, and the court ordered a search. So yes, it's legal.

This is going too far Sony.. Too far.

Well, if that's the case, then there's no need to get upset. This is standard procedure, then?

 

[ThePowerOutage]

graf_chokolo only reverse engineered, nothing to do with piracy. If that isn't legal, neither are Anti-Virus's.

Ooooh! Scandalous!!! lol

When Sony said they were going after people, they were serious!!! And it took them no time at all, either.

I just say that all of the hackers and modders just collaborate and just take the PS3 down, from static IP addresses. Sony has yet to actually fix their security problem with it, or take the time to make the common key random, so it shouldn't be too hard to take down. Maybe a little virus that could make PSN unusable until Sony can fix it... lol That would be some initiative to fix there security there. lol
