Sony Lawsuits Target PS3 Jailbreak Authors

StikyPad writes "PS3News is reporting that Sony's latest legal salvo is targeting the creators of PS JailBreak, PSFreedom and PSGroove-related PS3 hacks, citing numerous court documents for those interested. From one of the documents: 'Having considered the Motion for Expedited Discovery of Plaintiff Sony Computer Entertainment America LLC (oeSCEA) [...] the Court hereby grants SCEA's Motion. IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that [...] SCEA has leave to serve similarly targeted subpoenas or deposition notices to any other third party who SCEA learns may be involved in the distribution or sale of the oePS Jailbreak software, known as, for example, "PSGroove," "OpenPSJailbreak," and "PSFreedom," or who may have knowledge of the distribution or sale of this software.'"

dangerous, but they'll keep trying

This is dangerous; it's only a matter of time until we lose the right to use our own hardware how we see fit. Maybe this decision will go that way or maybe it won't, but if not, they'll just try again... and again... and again until finally it does.

Sanity is leaving the computing industry, locked down device by locked down device.

It's comforting to know...

That I have already purchased my last Sony device, several years ago; a first gen PSP. I think I'm done with you now, Sony. This idea ranks up there with Network Walkman. Sony and it's products are second rate crap with pretty plastics. You'd be much better off with an XBOX-360 or a Wii. Although Wii seems to be pissing me off with their download content and similar OS "downgrades". All done with Sony. You buy from them.
