Aquaman 2018

Welcome to The Know.  I'm Daniel. Console makers just hate it when their secrets leak online and they'll go to pretty great lengths to protect them. But it looks like Sony [is] kind of taking it to a new level. Recently a stolen software development kit for the PlayStation 4 was posted online. Oops.  That's not good. It contains Super-secret info that can allow people to jailbreak the console and do all kinds of illicit hackery things to it. [Yelling] Hack the planet! And that set up a chain reaction of DMC a takedown that some people say led to Sony censoring even simple conversations about the topic OH boy, so we're in trouble It’s another case of a company trying Very hard to protect its intellectual property from hacker theft which happens more and more and more these days, but this time I don't know - is it possible that they went a little bit too far? Here’s what happened. A few weeks ago, a hacker group known as K Rome Mods leaked the latest version of the PS4 SDK as Ars Technical notes: “The development kits are given only to authorized developers because they contain a lot of sensitive information “How sensitive, Adam? “Well if a guide to the wrong hands the SDK could help hackers figure out how to jailbreak consoles which leads to all sorts of activities at console makers do not want.

 As a reddit or noted in a post about the leaked SDK it contains documentation and tools on everything to do with developing on PS4 Dev Kits. It will help the modding scene a lot. So not all bad if you're in good if you're into home brew, if you're into modding from your own hardware right there are cool applications, but not from Sony's perspective. And as you can imagine Sony was not too happy about this info being posted online and it used copyright law in the form of DMCA notices not only removed links to the actual SDK files, but also any discussions about it either OH yes.  It appears that in its effort to kill any and all links to the stolen SDK Sony also targeted forum posts that discuss the length without actually linking to them. One said post on the website PlayStation Hax - it's got an X in it so you know it's serious -got a DMCA notice even though it included a note that explicitly said these files are illegal so I will not be linking them. The site owner, Gregory Rasputin and posted a note about Sony's takedown saying: I personally could not see where I had infringed any copyright All I had done is posted some text and a screenshot. Another site, the console hacking site Wololobut also posted details of a copyright infringement notice at Gotham stone if it didn't seem to involve the latest SDK at all instead the post involved an Open-Source unofficial PS4 SDK that had been available for years on GitHub and wasn't related to the copy of SDK version the Sony was apparently trying to protect. 

Wololo said in a post about the takedown: In other words, Sony's lawyers are visibly doing some broad Keyword search and Blasting website owners and internet providers with takedown notices for everything that remotely looks like it might be related to the copyrighted file Hey, that's cost effective I guess, more than actually confirming if actual copyright infringement happened or not on the sites. Right? Yeah. Ars Technical contacted Sony for comment, but they have yet to respond. But overall it seems like Sony is using a pretty big hammer to try and squash this SDK leak. And could be censoring something innocent bystanders in the process.  As Ars, Technical put it: "Into the situation as a currently stands shows the perils of letting copyright Holders cast too wide of a legal net in trying to squash the leaking of confidential material. While few would begrudge Sony [for] it's effort to try to recork the bottle containing its proprietary PS4 SDK after it leaked, extending that dragnet to mere reporting on the leak, and to the posting of unrelated homebrew projects seems like an abuse of the law's intent. Recently hackers have stolen unreleased movies like Pirates of the Caribbean and shows like Orange is the New Black and tried to hold them [for] ransom from the studios I - NPR is still trying to recover from a ransomware attack and jailbreak a new console is nothing new either the DS, the Sega Dreamcast's were famous for having active homebrew scenes Thanks to hackers digging into the console. 

 In a lot of ways like these home brews and hacks keep consoles alive after the actual creators of the console stopped supporting them.  The Wii and lots of other consoles can be mudded as well. obviously, console makers hate that kind of thing. And there's always a tug of war between hackers and companies trying to stop them with the latest system update but did Sony go a little too far this time It’s quite a legitimate conversation where does copyright end and free speech begin? At the end of the day sadly what seems to matter most is whether or not you can afford a Lawyer. Which Sony can, they can a lot - Right - it's an increasing thing you see, well fine we’ll just take you to court and starve you.  Right. oh, what do you guys think of this issue? Is Sony in the wrong this time, or the right just went too far, or do they have a legitimate point to [censor]conversation about their copyrighted stuff. Let us know in the comments.  And for all your Sony news, including who they're going after for talking about things online…
