PSJailbreak Copyright Free Claims maker, Sony Using ‘Scare’ tactics

[jemico]

the makers of ds card's did also say us the card does not contain any copyrighted stuff but in the last trail last month here in holland nintendo did proef the other site and they did win the trail.

Same in the past with matrix infinity chips for ps2, the same thing. They did say teh homebrew version could not be illegal but it was..

So let's hope this time the makers are right.

I think the Sony injunction was all about getting their hands on these dongles for a countermove. Probably with a firmware update to try and disable the device from USB once they determine how and if they can stop the device from functioning. They(Sony) knows in the end they're fighting a losing battle. It's scare tactics!

That would seem a bit extreme. If they wanted to get their hands on one they could have ordered one online like the rest of us. It would certainly have been a lot cheaper than an injunction. Silly comment.

Silly? I think an injunction is a smart trick to get their hands on a dongle. Yeah, they could order one but that's not how console manufacture's work about matters like this. They go through the courts first. Maybe they should order one first and keep it quiet but that's not how it goes. My comment was far from silly!

Not necessarily... the injunction causes 2 things:

1. It stalls the sale of a majority of the PSJailbreaks

2. The PS3Jailbreak team will have to prove its not infringement, possibly by showing source code, how it works, specs, etc. All things that will make sonys attempts to block it easier.

So no.. i dont think its a silly comment.

Not really it only stalls Austrailian sales the rest of the world will still be making plenty of sales. And Aussies could import if it is necessary.

2. The PS3Jailbreak team will have to prove its not infringement, possibly by showing source code, how it works, specs, etc. All things that will make sonys attempts to block it easier.

So no.. i dont think its a silly comment.

As far as i am aware it will be up to Sony to prove IT DOES contain copyright material and not the other way around.

It's definitely up to Sony in proving copyrighted code here and not the PSJailbreak team proving it's not.

Bloody hell...If that's a Dutch guy asking the questions...I was under the impression 'we' could speak/spell English properly.

But hey, let's just hope this is some desperate move of Sony. I'm still very intrigued by all this Psjailbreak stuff.

Well just to throw my two cent in..... If Sony is just trying to get their hands on a dongle then its actually smarter than just quietly ordering one. Why? Because, by doing this, Sony is allowing themselves to get a hold of dongle before the general public does.

If Sony would have ordered one along with the rest of us then mass amounts of the dongle would have gotten out to the general public and by the time Sony checks it out and figure a way to block it (if possible), the dongles/software would have already been in thousands of consumer's hands, cloning would be in full effect, and the use the dongle/software would be in use as well (Sony doesn't want that). Basically, Sony would have a much harder time trying to stop or block what has already spread massively.

By establishing this "temporary hold", this will allow Sony to check it out and see what they can do to possibly block this on the PS3 before we even get our hands on it. See if they get a dongle and figure a way to patch it in a firmware update, then Sony can make it useless to everyone else who get its once its officially released. In this case, Sony will have had the advantage because they knew what they were going up against.

Just think of it as a spreading disease. If you can "halt" it at the source and find a cure/fix, then by the time it gains "massive spread", it will be "dealt" with on spot. So in Sony's case they are getting a chance to see what they are up against so by the time the dongles reach the public, it will be useless.

In my personal opinion, this benefits Sony because it gives them time to act but also put them at a disadvantage because, this shows that Sony knows the dongles are a threat (and possibly something that they can't stop once released.) And if most haven't noticed, this story has gained a lot of coverage outside the gaming community now; its almost like publicity has been given to the jailbreak dongles. So in other words, "If you don't know, now you know"....
