What the modchip can do What is the lawsuit about? What are Sony’s Arguments? The Modchip called the “PS Jailbreak” can enable homebrew, backing up of games on the hard drive, and the running of emulators. Sony has filed a lawsuit against OzModChips.com due to them creating a modchip (thumbdrive) that jailbreaks the Playstation 3 gaming system. • Unauthorized game back ups • Device is used to break TPM (Trusted Platform Module) • Backing up games is Illegal in Austrialia due to S.110AA What is happening during this lawsuit? Sony vs. OzModchips What are Oz’s Arguments? Sony had a temporary injunction on the all modchips. Meaning they can stop all modchip retailers from selling modchips until a certain date. Afterwards sony must return all the modchips if they lawsuit fails. • S116AN an exception which gives users the ability to install independent programs without authorization • Will argue that interoperability is necessary since Sony removed the Linux Capabilities on the PS3.
