Sony PS3 Lulz

For those that don’t know, the private key that secures the Playstation 3 was found a few weeks ago. This means anyone can develop code and the Playstation thinks it’s been signed by an official source which means the PS3 is effectively cracked open. The code was only sought after Sony removed a feature from the PS3 that allowed it to run a version of Linux called OtherOS. People weren’t happy that something they were legitimately using was removed without warning. Since then Sony have gone from bad to worse and recently started issuing subpoenas to youtube, twitter, Facebook etc demanding to know private identifying information on anyone who posts the code or even watches a video demonstrating the code. The funniest thing is that every article I’ve seen mentioning this always has the code posted in the comments below by various wiseguys but even funnier was the person who managed to trick Playstation VP Kevin Butler into tweeting PS3′s security key. He’s now as liable as everyone else they are pursuing.
