Let's see how can the EFF help those guys.

Anyways Geohot is an attention whore, he jumped the gun and released the most important keys first, so get ready for the consequences.

He should have some money stashed by the big amount of donations he has received since some years ago.
 
For less detectability of modifications, it could be fun to see homebrew releases masked as 'being' popular PS3 games (full with update mechanism simulation), so that they could be neither detected nor disabled.

Right now, unofficial apps are listed as if they were actual games, but under their regular names. With a list of installed apps/games being transmitted to Sony every time PS3s boot up, that kind of masking would be nice.
You do realize that for example Microsoft could detect and ban modded xbox 360 consoles through the load speeds of the
games you are playing?

So i guess there are a bajillion possibilities to detect homebrew etc.
 
I wonder how Sony is going to detect my stuff or shutdown my jailbroken PS3.... the reason for that is because as many people know here i own 3 PS3's and i use them for 3 different things.

1 PS3 for jailbreak(no internet connection).
1 PS3 for Programming, CFW tests and installations(no internet connection either).
1 PS3 for PSN(I don't use it that much), Play latest games etc.

so not a big deal for me ^_^
 
you know what guys , i'm kinda of concerned after i heard that Sony can/will remotely brick your console if they detected CFW on the device , how scared should i be?? and is there a way to go back to original 3.55 after applying geohots CFW
 
They can't do that; it's illegal. They only ban you from PSN.

I'm not going to homebrew it now. I don't want to be banned.
Well, MS has done an update that has bricked modded 360's... But no I don't see them doing that, also they don't really have a way to check unless you go on PSN. If you do you run a risk of most likely just a ban.
 
Sony pulling another Bleem here? First of all if Geohot only used legitimate ways of obtaining that key, I really wonder how they will be able to sue him in the first place. All he is sharing is a piece of information, which isn't illegal. They'll stand a better chance if they'll sue him for terrorism and rape, which seems to be the norm nowadays.

Your right IMO

The suit contests that said defendants are in violation of DMCA under U.S. law, pointing to the recent publication of the PS3′s encryption routines and subsequent release of Hotz’s firmware 3.55 jailbreak.
If this is what they have, they have nothing. Haven't really looked into it much yet though.

Forgot about the Bleem saga!

I dont think Sony can sue him as im sure Geohot knows the intricacies of what is legal about him publishing the root key.

Anyone else notice this is a lot like how the US wants to charge Julian Assange of Wikileaks of rape charges for him publishing leaked war documents. Rape and terrorism play well in the stakes for the big guys...

Good luck to Geohot in his fight with Sony though, he and fail0verflow pawned them:heh:
 
Wii keys. PS3 keys. PSP keys.

I was told a long while ago that any non-military protection scheme is practically hackable (meaning likely within a few years tops). So it'd be worth adding a basic modern cookbook one just to stop the dummies. Nothing more complex as it'd be a waste of their money - contract time. Those were the constraints. :)


Does anyone remember the 'AACS cryptographic key' MPAA lawsuits (HD DVD)? Short story is they lost.

I don't think the law has changed much since then to appease them.
 
Wii has a lot of piracy yet is the best selling console. Playstation 1 had a lot of piracy yet had more sales than the piracy free Nintendo 64. I feel like mega corporations will never learn that piracy won't kill their sales.
 
Finally Geohot its looking serious and the hair cut just look great and give the feeling you're talking to a serious person while in the past he looked like a random kid.

+ the fact that it indeed increase hardware sales and promote the console having at the end more profits. because the more people own a hardware the bigger the popularity. there is a big difference when you go to investors and say you have 100.000 installed base or 100 million installed base... at the end the investor care about the numbers not how you got them :p
