Sony patches DNS Bypass, Sony demands Youtube/Twitter to give up Geoot/Fail0verflow information and viewers?!
 

Things are seeming to go from bad to worse in Sony's image. Just a few hours ago the well known DNS bypass trick has been blocked forcing you to update if you wish to play on PSN (an all other tools/methods). We must wait for the 3.56 CFW if we want to play on PSN again (or update to OFW 3.56).

In further news the Sony vs Geohot case is starting to pickup heat as Sony is now gathering evidence. Sony has demanded that Youtube give up information of Geohot's youtube account where jailbreak video was originally revealed AND, how many users had accessed the video, the usernames and IP addresses of everyone who viewed/posted/published comments related to the video...meaning this information probably includes YOU. A bit of an overkill don't you think?

Furthermore, Sony has demanded Twitter to give information related to everyone on the Fail0verflow Team (good luck with that), and take them down as well.

Geohots attorney replied: ?The discovery they call for in my opinion is overbroad,? when asked by The Wired.

What are your guys thought on this recent move by Sony? Do you feel they are taking the right tactics to stop hackers? Or are they just ruining there public image more than they need to? Let us know via comments below.

WOAH.... this can NOT be legal.....

I won't be purchasing any Sony products for along time. Jerks.

Looks like my PS3 will remain on until I get a sign out error! :D

ah i am going to watch that jailbreak video again :) in the meantime, i ll have a look at the views, and laugh while i think about sony requesting those ips XD

hmm sony does not want my money anymore is what i think. i was about to buy a new tv from them :dontknow: to oh well i hear lg makes good tv as well, to think i spent over 10000 on there products last year :heeeelllllooooo:.

with sony attacking everyone including there own mother i wont buy another console from them o any other product for that matter, xbox and there faulty hardware no thx, nintendo and the over usage of mario,zelda and few others has got old. this is officially my last console gen now can anybody recommend a high end pc

(ಠ_ಠ) (ಠ_ಠ) (ಠ_ಠ) (ಠ_ಠ)

well, this has gone from bad to worse.
Im pretty sure that is a huge invasion of privacy. Why would they need our IP's if they can easily just check our run game data, or whatnot. I think sony is expressing its "legal powers" too much.

But from sony's side, they dont wanna loose money. Sure, geohot didnt release back up running homebrew but others did because of the research geohot did. Their whole game market is the only source of income for sony, they still loose 17 cents a ps3. Sure its not much but if you think about about 17 cents builds up fast.

Anyway, i have other things to do, So i wont be updating
