Sony Are Scaring Distributors Away From PSJailbreak

Sony Are Scaring Distributors Away From PSJailbreak

PSJailbreak recently launched where it allowed players to do whatever they like with their PlayStation 3 console. Although Sony are yet to acknowledge the PSJailbreak, they are currently scaring distributors who aim at selling the product.

In Australia the USB device was blocked by the courts, however the device creators have said that ‘nothing illegal has been done’.

According to the PSJailbreak team Sony’s court injunction in Australia is merely a ‘scare tactic’. Furthermore, the creators of PSJailbreak said that ‘there is no copyrighted code, and we have not interfered with any intellectual property law’.

Of course, if they don’t break laws – it’s legal. But that doesn’t mean that it’s ethical, does it?

    I still dont see how people can say this is legal? Its exactly the same as borrowing a mates CD or DVD, Ripping it for myself, keeping the files on my computer than giving the stuff back… Thats essentially what the thing does, and to me that sounds no different to what CD and DVD companies have been trying to stop for years…

    Well, you don’t necessarily need to use it for ripped games. It could unlock various other features.

    Look at the iPhone for instance. Jailbreak that and you can set backgrounds, Multi-Task on the 3G (you can only on 3GS & 4G) etc.

    So there’s good and bad to it..

    From what Ive understood it works like jailbreakers on phones (generally).
    I dont see how its unethical to give more control to someone over something they bought.
