Our friends at Sony are having another bad day: i.e., doing something breathtakingly stupid, presumably because they don't know any better. This time they're suing George Hotz for publishing PS3 jailbreak information, as reported by EnGadget and Attack of the Fan Boy. Hotz's jailbreak allows PS3 owners to run the software of their choice on a machine they have legally purchased. His site is geohot.com.
Free speech (and free computing) rights exist only for those determined to exercise them. Trying to suppress those rights in the Internet age is like spitting in the wind.
We will help our friends at Sony understand this by mirroring the geohot jailbreak files at Carnegie Mellon.
Note to Sony lawyers: No doubt you're eager to rack up another billable hour by sending legal threats to me and my university. Before you go down that unhappy road, check out what happened the last time a large corporation tried to stop the mirroring of technical information here: You must login or register to view this content..

we all know it basically leads to piracy and thats what you all want it for. (99% on here anyway!!)
I've lurked in here long enough and listened and cant hold my tongue any more.
I work for "the man", i wont say what dept. for fear of reprisals. And the last thing they are doing is "quacking in their boots" by this. they have already extracted 80% of the PS3 revenue by people buying the thing. the problem comes down to others (game dev companies, shareholders and the like) thinking Sony aren't doing anything to combat this.
This is to placate those who have a real interest in sony revenue and nothing else. sure they might get lucky and find a loophole or law to catch Geo on, but thinking they have no way of stopping this is totally wrong. Guys I work with had hacked the PS3 (and every other consol) days after release and they know every hack possible (and more). Sure they could make it un hackable, but then the game code becomes so complex that people wont program. So what they decide on is the BEST option for what its worth.
Rant over - PS all the guys at sony love this site and we're reading every day. (every 5 mins in my case) - and my stance is "good luck to all hackers - info should be free and accessable to all!"

Most people I know who work here have some sort of JB or had at some point.
We bricked the one in our canteen not so long ago, trying stupid stuff.
although i dont work on consol's, the product i do work on we actively try an reverse eng. or own and others products constantly. its all part of future dev and security. we mostly know were the weaknesses are before rls and mostly have updates ready if found (harder for our stuff, but not for games i'd imagine)
To create a secure product you first have to know where the possible holes are. in our case the Iphone hacks have been great and we rofl'd hard.
I agree this has to back underground to keep the movement of dev going forward without reprisal's as it look as if they'll take anyone to court for a "show down"
