If you tend to dip into Sony's financial earnings, you're in trouble.
On Friday, October 5, Sony Interactive Entertainment is suing a California hacker that they accuses of trying to sell jailbroken PS4s loaded up with pirated games.
Sony filed a complaint in the U.S. Central District Court of California against Eric David Scales, whom the complaint claims goes by Blackcloak13 on Ebay, for copyright infringement and violation of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act’s (DMCA) “trafficking” provisions. Those provisions prohibit people from distributing technology that can be used for piracy. In addition to asking the court to stop Scales from continuing to jailbreak PS4s or sell them, Sony is also asking for him to pay damages of an unspecified amount, as well as hand over any modded PS4s he still has so they can be destroyed.
