Just a week after Sony was awarded a temporary injunction against Australian distributors of the PSJailbreak – a USB mod chip that allowed the use of homebrew and pirated software on the PS3 – the federal court has ruled in the company’s favor and made the injunction permanent. You can say this for the Australian legal system: It can move fast when it wants to. the war between the companies and pirates.Sony is victorious in its first legal battle over the new USB PS3 mod chip. Im not the online kinda person and i enjoy my games alone so it really doesnt bother me i.e. Somehow the experience is cheapened for me if I don't. I enjoy having something physical in my hand too much. I never got into the pirating scene for games. I doubt I'll stop doing that any time soon. The price will again, probably be the online segment of the game, but people can live with that I would guess. Yes, Sony will fight and release various patches, but those will again be circumvented by the pirate community releasing patches for their patches for download to put on the said USB again destroying their patch. Depends really if you are the online sort of person or like to play games alone. On the Xbox360 you can play any game you want, pirated, with the price being that you can't play online. It's a big thing to give up lightly, though. So this means that if you dont go on LIVE u can keep playing pirated games? If MS even suspect you of pirating, you lose all access to XBL, as well. The 360 is constantly being updated through live patches to sidestep a lot of pirating issues. Hmmm.yeah Jason your comment does make sense but then why havent Microsoft done the same thing for their Xbox 360s? Just the latest move in the ongoing arms race between publishers and pirates. So even when someone does come up with something brilliant to make theft work for the many people who prefer not to pay for their games, Sony can produce a quick fix or essentially hold their system hostage. It's easier for Sony to force a patch on people (to keep playing their games) than it is to develop a device that circumvents the system's anti-piracy measures.
