(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); I have started this thread to discuss weather or not it is right for Team Fail0verflow and George Hotz (geohot) to get sued by SCEA.

They are pretty much sueing geohot for releasing the PS3 System Root keys to the public via Internet. But there is not copyright law against numbers or sequences of numbers.

Also releasing the 3.55 CFW Jailbreak, Jailbreaking is not illegal, even under the DMCA, as it is just allwing users to enjoy freedom they should have with a PS3 Console.

One the court papers that have been released on geohots website (geohot.com) stat that pretty they have opened up the console for piracy. But as you might of seen both geohot and Team Fail0verflow have stated that they do not condone piracy. It they didnt even release and piracy related .pkg's in the CFW.

Also apparently according to SCEA Homebrew is illegal which its not under the DMCA. Also the Jailbreak Firmware is technically not a Jailbreak that you would get from a modchip. Because Jailbreak modchips disable all the TMP's and Rootkeys signings, so Homebrew dont need to be signed to be install. On the Jailbreak Firmware any Homebrew as to be signed with the PS3 Systems root key. So technically speaking it is a Offical Sony pachage because it been signed with Sony's keys.

Personally I dont think SCEA are going to win the courtcase, Because of what they are sueing them for is just ridiculous. Also if if where SCEA I wouldn't sue George Hotz, I would hired this smart kid to encyrpt Sony devices.

Comment Your Opinions and additional information on the topic. Also +Rep if I helped.

We don't care about sony, this is about Geohots well-being.

Ok Fanboy. If you can contribute anything the releated to this thread please leave.

Wait...if I can contribute anything related to this thread please leave?

I don't want to start a flame war here but don't tell people to leave a thread when they have only posted twice...defending either themselves or another person.

We bought it. We can do whatever we want.

And that is one of many cases Geohot is using as defence with the lawsuit Sony filed.
