The documents are in German so only you fluent German speakers will have a clue of what graf_chokolo is currently facing.

      Graf_Chokolo is to be prohibited from hacking operating software and hardware relating to the PS3.

      He is not allowed to publish or otherwise distribute the results of any previous hacking.

      He is not allowed to hack games so that security measures are circumvented.

      Any hardware that has been used to hack software or hardware for the PS3 is to be seized and kept in safe custody.

      For each breach the defendent will be fined up to €250000 or if he cannot pay, be detained for 6 months.

      The next thing you'll see is that only blonde haired blue eye'd children will be allowed to play with their PS3's. So much for innocent till proven guilty...

      Sony... you SUCK!

      I don't get it, a restraining order is issued to prevent someone from doing whatever he is doing until the court give a judgement as to whether it is illegal or not. Why has there been two restraining order? Unless he lost his trial the first time he broke the TRO and this is a second suit filled by Sony which come with another TRO? So, if I understand, Graf will accumulate civil case loses and fines, will never have a dime, he'd have to give it to Sony anyway, but will keep hacking as long as he's breathing. He got balls, or is he too young and reckless to value his future.

      just copy/paste the second two downloads into paralink.com. It is by far the best translator around, much better than google translate as it actually takes into account word order.

      For example:
      insb. wenn sich die Handlungen auf die Betriebssystem-Bestandteile LV1 (...) und LV2 (...) beziehen, insb. wie geschehen durch die Erstellung der nachfolgenden Dateien............

      With Paralink engine becomes:
      especially if the actions of the operating system components LV1 and LV2 (...) (...) relate, especially as it did by creating the following files.......

      With Google Translate, becomes:
      insb. if to itself the actions on the operating system components LV1 (...) and LV2 (...) cover, insb. as happened by the production of the following files.......

      graf_chokolo is the savior of the PS3 scene! A true genius will fight for freedom regardless of what the law says. Too bad Anonymous is too busy fighting $ony, else they could focus on safe hacking environments for our beloved devs like graf. If he could get a hideout to operate in that seems like it would REALLY hurt $ony. They hate him SO much for reimplementing OtherOS (a much more capable version). I will do all I can to help support you. Long live freedom, Linux and the great graf_chokolo!

      I just reprogrammed my SONY alarm clock to FART the national anthem. Come get me SONY I'm messing with your sh*t. Are they being serious? All he's done is to restore a feature that was taken away, he should be free to do as he likes with the equipment he purchased, and he should be free to share that information with others. With other OS there's no piracy involved as Linux is open source, and only a small handful of PS3 owners will implement his work. None of this affects Sony in anyway, they're just being right CU*TS.

      Wow, I can't believe why these people hate Sony so much? If you dont like them then stop using their PS3 and go buy yourself a 360 or Wii. I think they have every right to prevent their console from getting hacked after what they went trough with the psp.

      don't you all get that they can go after him for distributing copyrighted material?
      everyone keeps saying how graf_chokolo has nothing to do with piracy or doesn't support it, yet he IS a pirate.
      as much as I'm grateful for having linux back on my PS3 I think software developers have to have the right to protect their IP. so yeah in my eyes both graf and geohot are criminals, what I don't understand is why they haven't released their stuff anonymously/protect their true identities.

      Why are you back to the same old thing do you have a split personality disorder or something

      one minute you are for it (most likely just to get your emulators) next minute you hate everyone that develops what you on your fat turkish *** uses what did you contribute to the scene nothing did you program anything?

      im not saying i did either but f**k atleast i aint a hyprocritic a**hole

      i thaught i was begining to understand who you are and that you seemed like a alright person but if your just the Fat Hypocritic Split Personality A**hole that i think you are then you need to

      F**k off and die

      Everyone should throw their PS3 at the front door of the nearest Sony corporate office and never buy a game for a Sony device ever again.

      that is a horrible idea...
      Why would i destroy my system, to show sony that what they are doing is ok?
      that they can threaten us to get what they want? Plus they already received their money for your console, if anything, that would only benefit $ony by removing yet another hacked console from circulation. Odds are you dont pay for your games anyway.
