Sony has won a court victory against GeoHot which issued a release system (jailbreak) PlayStation3 console. A San Francisco judge has ordered the owner of the site to remove any information on systems of "piracy" of the console. The 21 year old behind GeoHot shall deliver the supplies that have related with the above tool to Sony within ten days.
In its application, Sony had invoked the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) that prohibits the release of the tools to protect a system. However, this principle was qualified last year by the U.S. Congress recognizing the impasse in the case that used to use other software on the device not provided by the manufacturer, if it were not pirated copies, or to facilitate interoperability .
The problem for Sony is that the unlocking software has been widely circulated on the Internet and is now in many hands. GeoHot published the solution for release after the console manufacturer to withdraw the possibility to use it, the open operating system Linux. Sony has opened a broad legal battle against those who disrupt the operation of your console.
