SCEA Planning Action Against PSGroove, PSFreedom, and OpenPSJailbreak
garyopa over at PSX-Scene has recently done some digging, and uncovered all documents relating to the current Sony legal cases. One very interesting point is that Sony is planning action against the PSGroove (unrelated to this website), PSFreedom, and OpenPSJailbreak teams. As mentioned below
The situation involving the “PS Jailbreak” devices has recently become even more
serious in that the software from the devices, known as “PSGroove,” “OpenPSJailbreak,” and
“PSFreedom,” among other names, is rapidly being copied and distributed on the Internet.
Id. SCEA has served DMCA “take down” notices to sites hosting this illicit software, but as
yet has been unable to verify the identity of those behind its copying and distribution.
Sony is even using printouts from various blogs and news sites, as exhibits in their cases. These websites include PSX-Scene, PS3News, exophase and several others. On one such printout, the well known console hacking enthusiast, Mathiuelh, is even named as one of the creators of the PSGroove code. To quote: “Mathieu Hervais told BBC News he was one of about 20 hackers involved in PSGroove’s development.” It appears Sony is actively pursuing these individuals in a mad scramble to prevent further distribution and updates to the PSGroove code.
Sony is also still strongly pursuing psjailbreak.com and shoppsjailbreak.com. Sony is attempting to pressure judges into expediting the legal process, for the discovery of evidence, on these two sites. According to the legal documents Sony has succeeded in at least one aspect. A judge has granted an order for Yahoo! to produce (within 5 days) any and all information relating to the email address vladgazoune@yahoo.com. An email address tied to a mail forwarding service used by shoppsjailbreak.com.
One site hxxp://psjailbreakcanada.com/, is even already pointing to a law enforcement seizure notice. This is probably the first of many sites that will be shut down and seized over the next few days/weeks.
These legal documents are showing that Sony will not take this situation lying down. We’ll have the latest for you on how this unfolds in the coming weeks. In the meantime if you’re curious to read the current court documents for yourself you can find them below.
