My PS3 goal has been to provide users a legitimate path to homebrew, which by the standards of all previous cases (or, in reverse), is 100% legal. Fortunately, the courts agree with me on this point. For example, I believe Apple has every right to lock down their iPhone in the factory as much as they want, but once it's paid for and mine, I have the right to unlock it, smash it, jailbreak it, look at it, and hack on it. I am an advocate against mass piracy, do not distribute anyone's copyrighted work but my own, do not take crap lying down, and am even pro DRM in a sense. The other two should be begging Sony to back off. This case has the ability to set a huge precedent for consoles and all closed systems to come.

I would hate to lose this case due to resource starvation, and with the support of the masses, I won't. Fortunately, that suit helped set precedent on the legality of emulators. In ( Sony v Bleem), Bleem was the winner on all counts, but the high cost of a legal defense shut them down. Sony tried to sue a guy for getting his AIBO to do non Sony approved tricks, making it apparent that they don't really care about piracy, they care about control.

Sony doesn't care if what you did was legal, if they don't like it, they sue. Sony is lame, and is suing me for hacking MY OWN PS3.

If you have another substantial way to donate aside from money, let me know I checked with my lawyers before setting this up I want, by the time this goes to trial, to have Sony facing some of the hardest hitting lawyers in the business.ĭonations here are for legal defense ONLY Please, if you support this cause, help me out and spread the word. This is the first time I have ever asked. Read groklaw, psx-scene, the case docket, and my new blog for updates on the case Now we are not 100% dead BUT!!! we don't update all that much as we all have our own lives to live and we just don't have the time to keep up-to-date on mods/hacks. (Well read above) Luckily our Awesome Owner (Smdepot) has kept the site running and giving us so much over the years. We want to keep it open for all the people who many come across the site and get help from the many post giving help on everything from. Softmod Depot was made back in the Xbox 1 days of softmoding the Xbox, Our Goal was to help as many people as we could to safely mod their system, As the years went by we moved to other systems like the 360,Wii,NDS,PS2,Dreamcast,PS1/PSx,PSP and even the PS3.īut as the times went by many admins (as well as myself) had to live our lives and we could no longer keep updating our newer Mods/hacks etc for the systems, So why not shut the site down? So i am sure if you found this site you'll see that 98% of all the stuff on it is (Out of Date) 'maybe more'
