Here's the actual motion that was filed:
Defendants George Hotz, "Bushing," Hector Cantero, Sven Peter and "Segher" (collectively, "Defendants") are computer hackers. Working individually and in concert with one another, Defendants recently bypassed effective technological protection measures ("TPMs") employed by plaintiff Sony Computer Entertainment America LLP ("SCEA") in its proprietary PlayStation 3 computer entertainment system ("PS3 System"). Through the Internet, Defendants are distributing software, tools and instructions (collectively, "Circumvention Devices") that circumvent the TPMs in the PS3 System and facilitate the counterfeiting of video games. Already, pirated video games are being packaged and distributed with these circumvention devices. Declaration of Ryan T. Bricker In Support of Ex Parte Motion for Temporary Restraining Order And Order To Show Cause Re Preliminary Injunction; Order for Impoundment ("Bricker Decl.") ¶2, Exh. A. Pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 65 and Local Rules 65-1 and 7-10, SCEA moves ex parte to put an immediate halt to the ongoing distribution of these illegal Circumvention Devices and avoid irreparable harm to SCEA and to other video game software developers stemming from video game piracy.
I already see some things they can get out on Sony for. For example, none of these guys have actually released any software. Some peoplehave, but not these guys.
They actually did release software but the software they released actually blocked the ability to pirate games easily. Also, the master key was released a couple weeks ago and it's not patchable Yeah, I only saw where he released the keys, not the software. Seriously, though, even if they made the software where it blocked hacking, how hard do you think they made it to hack their software and enable it again? I mean, do you guys think they may be saying that just to cover their own butts? They have to know they are playing with fire, right?
