SCEA is hard at work to find you
 

garyopa over at PSX-Scene has posted an interesting article today, releasing many possible recent court documents.

To quote:

In this boring legal filings by Sony, it now covers not just PSJailbreak, but also names PSGroove, PSFreedom, OpenPSJailbreak, and they have filed printouts from various blogs, forums, with comments and tutorials people have been writing up on how to use these various programs. They even mention of course the phone ports & TI84 calc. hacks.

http://www.ps3hax.net/wp-content/upl...09/hackers.jpgSony is using this information, to get the courts to order up faster service, to force the various ISP', Domain Register's, and Web Hosting Services to give up the personal info on their clients so that can serve more court papers on those people, and issue DMCA takedown notices to shut down various sites.

So for the Judge has only granted one order so far, this one is directed to YAHOO! to within 5 business days to turn over all the information they have on a "vladgazoune@yahoo.com", all IP's he used to access his mail, his personal info stored by Yahoo, his email of course, and other logs.

This E-Mail address is the one that was used to rent the mail-drop box in Texas used by http://shoppsjailbreak.com as their virtual office for orders, shipments, registering the domain name, etc.

Recently, that above name site which also goes under the company name of Zoomba stop using the ".com" domain and now is operating under a http://shoppsjailbreak.net domain. -- Plus also the http://psjailbreakcanada.com site which seems to point IP wise to the older site, has suddenly been changed to DOJ/IPR/ICE notice that has been used in the past for "Torrent/Movie" site take-downs!

Anyhow, here is all the public court documents you can read thru them now, and see just what SCEA has been printing out about yourself online, they are asking the court they need to findout the true identify of everyone that sells, makes, offers for sale, or even has just knowledge of the real people behind any project called PSJailbreak, PSGroove, OpenPSJailbreak, PSFreedom.

Don't be surprized if the next few days, you see less sites online, or you find yourself answering the door to a person serving you a Summons to Appear! -- The good reading stuff is the PDF's called Exhibit or Exhibits!

You can see all the documents at the source below: [VIA]

lame!!! It is annoying they would pull this kind of stunt. Oh well. at least this will be interesting, that is for sure

I'm afraid to even comment on this page now!

We'll Sony can screw themselves if they try going after homebrew app makers. :dontknow: I could care less about "Psjailbreak retailers" I use my ps3 for legitimate uses, and actually purchase my games, but if they start going after everyone that's ridiculous.

Wow, this shows how desparate sony are getting..

Ah sony. You only make me want to buy less of your products.

And the flood gates where opened!!!!

There is nothing illegal about creating Homebrew apps that don't in any way support piracy. I can definitely see them going after software creators who are giving capabilities to people to pirate games, but some of us would rather use this exploit to port emulators, create a more open operating system to enhance the functionality of the system and maybe unlock better file compatibility (.mkv files anybody??). There is no reason to go through this much headache to take down everyone who is creating means to do these things, especially since I'm sure a lot more people will buy the system now just because they now know that they can do what they want with it now. :dontknow: WTF SONY? :dontknow:

There isn't even anything wrong with using the Backup Manager...so long as you answer the questions within honestly.

I really don't care about the people selling ports for $50...but I do care about the people behind PS Groove...I have never met them or known anything about them, other than the obvious fact that they support freedom, and they did not try to make money on providing freedom.

No doubt. All I've used my PS3Key to do so far is play around with the SNES emulator (Which works great! :D). I'm not interested in piracy. I've got a stack of games that I'm sure I'll keep adding to just the same as if this exploit had never come out. That said, this is way too hostile a move for my tastes. Sony has already lost me as a customer whether or not I ever get a summons personally. Besides, I'm not so sure I like the message that Sony is sending here, that purchasing the console doesn't actually mean that you own it. If I spend $400 on something, I can damn well do what I please with it and Sony can screw themselves if they don't like it.
