To quote: "While not specifically mentioned in the court documents, it's believed the accused, Zoomba LDC - trading at the address SHOPPSJAILBREAK.com - has been attempting to sell the new PS3 Jailbreak modchip, which allows users to circumvent the PlayStation 3's copy protection and play games retail games installed on the console's hard drive.

ouch! they will do everyhing at their power to stop it

Of course, could you imagine game sales taking a huge dive if Sony didn't do anything.

imagine if they didnt try to stop the psjailbreak xD it would b crazzzzy

This was expected.

Just thought about it they could lose alot of money if people could just go & rent a game or borrow it from someone & just copy it to an external hardrive.

This is why I'm tempted to buy on quickly. But now with the PSGroove on the N900 available for download and someone sayingthat they have it working on android's and iOS, then I'm not so sure and now that it is available for download it is out of sony's power to stop it.

Well, according a recent supreme court ruling jailbreaking is legal, and according to copyright laws in the US, the DMCA states that devices that circumvent copy protection are illegal, but the PSjailbreak doesn't circumvent copy protection, it allows homebrew, it's the backup manager that does that

Edit, meant to say jailbreaking is legal, not illegal

this why i hate sony

Microsoft would have done NOTHING
