Sony Gets Nasty With PSBreak Buyers

Posted by Soulskill on from the give-it-a-rest dept.

YokimaSun writes "The war between hackers and Sony over the PlayStation 3 has now taken an even more sinister turn, with Sony going after not just shops but actual buyers of the PSBreak dongle, threatening them with fines of many thousands of Euros and forcing them to sign cease-and-desist letters. It seems Sony will use any means necessary to thwart both homebrew and piracy on the PS3."

    Yes.

    Why has everyone IGNORED the glaring fact in the room.

    None of this crap was going on with any strength until sony became idiots and shut down the OtherOS function.

    It's their fault. They caused it, and they will lose.
