Actually they are saying that they can/will remove material immediately even if someone just claims that it's infringing on the DMCA.
No DVD/Play Station/WMA players for linux developed on sourceforge without the MPAA/RIAA/Big-Lawyer-Comany blessing. One call and any of those projects can get wiped in a heart beat. ShowEQ/SINS could easily get booted with a complaint from Sony and they wouldn't get the code. After all, they are breaking an encryption. It sounds like Sony would also be able to have a list of all the developers and their contact info under the new privacy terms.
Was this something they could do before? Dunno. But most of the changes seem to point to making it much easier without breaking the TOS.
"despite the fact that they don't even have a Trademark for 'CORINTHIANS' (in Brazil or anywhere else), " This is bad news for all of us. Now anyone who USES a name in any part of the world (registered or not) and who makes enough money to be influential, can come knocking on your door for the URL. I don't like this at all.
