Sony has been very busy at work, since winning their Temporary Restraining Order against George Hotz. The Sony hitmen have been targeting the next tier of PS3 devs, by issuing DMCA takedown notices to a number of high profile devs. They've now targeted such people as graf_chokolo, kmeaw, and Kakaroto!
The first to go down was the professor at Carnegie Mellon, who had placed a mirror of geohot's original website, complete with keys. He decided to exercise some caution, and removed the site voluntarily.

Since CMU has a west coast campus in California and is therefore subject to her jurisdiction, I have disabled my mirror until I can get back to Pittsburgh and look more closely at the current state of things.
Developers all around the PS3 scene started receiving DMCA takedown notices, starting with kmeaw, famous for his custom firmware.
Graf_chokolo posted on XorLoser's blog regarding his DMCA takedown, but he doesn't seem too concerned.

Kakaroto recently tweeted about his DMCA takedown:

Looks like github has received DMCA takedown and my repository are now unavailable
Mathieulh doesn't seem to concerned either:

As most people seem to be unaware of, DMCA holds no jurisdiction outside the US.

Should they ever send a DMCA notice here, I wont pull down whatever they ask me to unless they get a valid court order from a French Judge.

Well I know Mossy made all of it, like I said I was putting it into different context. In other words a different way of saying thanks for the patch and good job on a good edit of Mossy... And the patch to be honest aint all that bad, I have seen alot worser. Yes Chrome Playas edit was good but I prefer Bushigans stuff really, just for the great Stat Editor really.
Ok then but I still don't think that he did that good of a job. Chrome Playa's edit of mossy's patch has lots of things to use and it lags out less than that of Derektrotter.

Bingo. Running homebrew stuff like emulators and other apps are fine, but when you begin to hack games online is completely unacceptable and should be fought by all.
