Sony VS Hackers (Pirates)

PS3 Hacker Wants Your Money To Fight Sony

 

PS3 Hacker Wants Your Money To Fight Sony When George Hotz isn't rapping, he's fighting Sony in court. And fighting Sony in court is expensive.

 

Sony is a multi-national corporation with gobs of moolah. George Hotz is just some guy, but some guy who hacked the iPhone and now the PS3. The PlayStation 3 hacking incited Sony to take Hotz to court, and the young hacker is asking for donations to help build his legal team.

 

"Sony is lame, and is suing me for hacking MY OWN PS3," Hotz writes on his blog. "Help me own them in court."

 

Continuing, Hotz writes, "I am an advocate against mass piracy, do not distribute anyone's copyrighted work but my own, do not take crap lying down, and am even pro DRM in a sense." Hotz says he believes Apple has the right to "lock down" their phone, just as he has the right to unlock, hack it, smash it, jailbreak it, whatever. "Fortunately," he says, "the courts agree with me on this point."

 

Hotz has racked up over $10,000 in legal bills. "Put it this way, Sony has 5 lawyers, I have 2," Hotz adds, underscoring that he does take the whole matter seriously. "I'd like to level the playing field, and really get some hard hitters in there."

 

The hacker says it looks like this is going to be a long, drawn out case, so he needs all the help he can get. "I am in this for the long haul," states Hotz, who also says he will be the first person in line when Sony launches its upcoming gaming phone, Xperia Play. Hope the guy doesn't need donations for that, too.

jis matyt juokauja.. aukokit man pinigu ,kad as galeciau ilgai ir nuobodziai po teismus tasytis pries Sony..WTF man!! f** off.. jau riesta jam matyt su saibom..zmogau nesok pries kazka ko nepajegsi aprebti....rimtai gali jis f*** off ..koks durnelis duos jam $ kad jis kokius shh sau pirktu ir visiem cia skiestu kaip jam reikia donation..

With the recent announcement from Sony that they are suing Geohot for hacking the PS3, the question arises what if Geohot wins? Over the past few days Geohot has posted online requesting people for money so he can mount a legal defense against Sony. A few days later Geohot closed donations saying he had received enough funds for the first round of defense.

 

Geohot has said on his site that “Sony doesn’t care if what you did was legal, if they don’t like it, they sue.” and he also says that he is fighting back because he is sick of Sony bullying people. Whatever the case, Geohot is ready to go toe to toe with Sony come the court date.

 

The real question regarding the court case is what kind of repercussions will arise if Geohot wins? A win would set a new precedent for consumer electronics in which companies will not be able to go after people who hack their devices.

taigi jis sulauke pasalpos ir dabar gali leist tuos pinigus ant advokatu ir toliau teistis. pala. o tai cia ne jo kova turejo but..? as kazko nesuprantu matyt..mes paremiam ji pries sony reiskia mes paremiam piratavima oficialiai,visiem pareiskiam kad nulauzimas yra gerai ir mes norim kad jis laimetu nes norim pirataut ir toliau. ..pala....cia tas pats kas kazkoks dalbajobas tau dave per snuki gerai, ir tada tave padave i teisma ,nuspirko liudinikus uz pinigus ir dabar teisiasi kad tu ji uzpuolei dar kad is taves bapkes paimt uz moraline zala ir pan.. nesuprantu,vietoj to kad pirkt zaidimus ant konsoles ar pirkt konsole pacia,mes remiam hackeri , sumokam uz jo islaidas visas. jis gali nosi krapstyt ir zvengt is tu debilu kurie jam cia pinigus kiso..sauni visuomene,nieko nepasakysi.taip jam paramos reikejo labiausiai is visu.

Tu pirma išsiaiškink kas yra kas ir tada bandyk kitus debilais vadint, nevykėli.

tai matyt cia dauguma nesupranta kas cia yra kas.jie hackeriai, mes geimeriai,nieko bendro nera. jei as naudosiu CFW tai dziaugsiuos ir tylesiu o neplesysiu gerkle kaip mane cia nuskriaude, kad negaliu dar kuom nors nemokamai naudotis. per slabnai mastai tikriausiai. biski logiskai pamastyk kam jam reikejo tu pinigu cia.

jei jis laimes tai ne mes laimesim, ir ne geimeriai, ir ne sony konsoliu vartotojai tuo labiau,dar daugiau apsaugu ant savo galvu turesim,dar maziau laisves ir maziau galimybiu su konsole daryt.

nuimtu ji kas nuo vaizdo ir nereiktu kapotis daugiau cia niekam.

Sony sends german police after a hacker

 

Sony isn’t gonna take this lightly, they have waged an all out war against the hackers. This time it’s Graf Chokolo who specializes in hardware reversing.

 

If you remember he had threatened Sony earlier, that if they piss him off he will release his HV ( hypervisor ) tools.

If SONY will continue like this i will upload my IDA database for HV and HV procs :-)

 

Well looks like Sony doesn’t care and have sent the german police to his house.

 

This is what the hacker said on his blog.

And to prove it, i kept my word and uploaded all my HV reversing stuff.

Upload it everywhere so SONY couldn’t remove it easily. Grab it guys, it contains lots of knowledge about HV and HV procs.

 

IDA database is the documentation, it contains all my knowledge, Linux booting is also there. It contains all the code i used to patch HV 3.41 and boot Linux. So, PS3 devs, grab it and continue my work. It contains just everything i know about HV, storage devices and so on.
