Sony demands Google turn over PS3 Jailbreak YouTube viewers, commenters, other data
http://bit.ly/gQINyY (Wired [pdf])
Nutshell: Sony is demanding all data regarding who viewed or commented
on a particular PS3 "jailbreak" video posted on YouTube, along with a
range of other associated info.
Of course, there are many similar PS3 jailbreak videos still
on the Net, on YouTube and other sites.
In fact, a Google Search for:
"jail* ps3 3.55"
yields, uh, 235K hits. The more Sony pushes this issue after the
horse has already left the barn, the more widely the hack is known.
It is also being widely speculated that this will all lead to even
broader deployment of "phone home" DRM systems for games.
