With the court case won over at Australia, it seems that Sony isn't stopping just yet. Sony today is taking another PSJailbreak reseller (US), shoppsjailbreak.com to court. Sony is accusing them of many charges, including copyright infringement according to the suit.



To quote:

Sony Computer Entertainment America has filed suit in California against an online retailer, accusing them of a raft of charges including copyright violation.

While not specifically mentioned in the court documents, it's believed the accused, Zoomba LDC - trading at the address SHOPPSJAILBREAK.com - has been attempting to sell the new PS3 Jailbreak modchip, which allows users to circumvent the PlayStation 3's copy protection and play games retail games installed on the console's hard drive.

Shoppsjailbreak is listed as one of two "official" distributors for the PS Jailbreak on the device's website.

The suit was filed on Tuesday in the California Northern District Court, and accuses Zoomba of copyright infringement, violations of the digital millennium copyright act and trademark infringement. SCEA is seeking damages and an injunctive relief, which would block the sale of the devices.

Its almost the exact same thing

i just got a reply from my supplier (spain)

Hello,
Maybe there was a miscommunication. The PS jailbreak team has announced they
will ship the product to us September 6th. This Monday and we will get it
Tuesday. So you should get it wednesday, but not last week but the next one!
Not 2 days ago.
The PS jailbreak team are changing a few vital features which will be
imperative to the future. The support and communication from this team
seems to be top notch, we expect great things from these guys. While at
first we heard the feature would come with the delay, we got upset but the
reason for delay makes it worth waiting an extra week.
Also, I can confirm that there are no problem in Europe and Sony have not
taken anyone to court in Europe. Sony has sent letters to a few shops but
nothing that can be done legally to stop it. Also we are not in he
Netherlands nor in the US nor in Australia.
Thank you
Don't hesitate to call us back.

Not matter what the result will be in USA, Sony will find a large scale diсk blocking their way to Europe. This is me. lol
