138w ago - Today
garyopa at PSX-Scene.com (linked above) reports that Sony appears to be targeting the PS JailBreak, PSFreedom and PSGroove related PS3 hacks and has shared numerous
court documents for those interested.
From one of the documents, to quote: "Similarly targeted document subpoenas or deposition notices to any other third party who SCEA learns may be involved in the distribution or sale of the PS Jailbreak software, known as, for example, PSGroove, OpenPSJailbreak, and PSFreedom, or who may have knowledge of the distribution or sale of this illicit software."
PS3 hacker
Mathieulh is also mentioned in one of the documents as recently
proclaiming to be one of 20 individuals behind PSGroove, to quote: "Mathieu Hervais told BBC News he was one of about 20 hackers involved in PSGroove's development."
Just under a month ago Sony was granted an
injunction by Australian Courts on the sale of PSJailBreak PS3 modchips, followed by blocking PS JailBreak and
PS3 proxy methods with the release of the
PS3 Firmware 3.42 update, so only time will tell what their next move is.

Ahem.... hey four-post wonder... this is a tech site, not a god-is-on-the-other-end-of-my-two-way-radio militia site. I havn't been here long, but I come here for tech news and discussion not this tripe. Quit trolling here and go post on yahoo forums, the folks there would love to have you.
It also means that whatever they did could likely be done on the current firmware as well or at least the lack of otheros is not a limitation.
don't tell them where he is

Yeah but, lets say you made the PS3 and somebody has hacked your system then disappears.. Then 4 months later your system system is PUBLICALLY hacked. Wouldnt geohot be the first in mind to either go after of get information out of him?
The fact is that they will not win a case against hackers jailbreaking the console unless they can prove that the main purpose was for piracy, which PSGroove was not.
If Sony opened (and kept open) the consoles OtherOS and a feature to run HomeBrew, there would be no legal reason/need for the 'hacks', then their lawsuits would have more merit.
