"28/08/2010 - Hello Everyone. On Friday the 27/08/2010 we where given some documents from the Lawyers representing Sony. The documents are Federal Court orders for a temporary injunction.

The Injunction states that from 24 hours of receiving the documents to the 31st of August OzModChips, Quantronics, Modsupplier and anyone else in Australia:

Give up all stock in our possession, including our sample
I guess it was lucky that the device was delayed by a couple of days. While many people that have received their sample and sent it off to cloners....we sent ours to a well known homebrew developer. The developer we picked showed us various homebrew applications that he had already developed for ps3 dev units, that he wants to port over to retail units. Yes, PS3 homebrew is real and will start flowing through at a steady rate as soon as next week.

Give up any stock we get between now and the 31st
We are not getting any between these times

Ozmodchips also cannot:

Import
distribute
Offer
provide
or deal with PS Jailbreak devices

These are from the Federal Court of Australia.
All 3 Australian stores we appear in court in some form on the 31st of August. On the 31st the court will decide if there will be a continuation of the "ban" or if we are allowed to sell them.

Our views are the same as Quantronics who posted this info here. This is not OzModChips Vs Sony. This is not OzModChips, Quantronics, Modsupplier Vs Sony. We would go as far as saying that is not even everyone in Australia Vs Sony. This will effect everyone that plans to buy such a device world wide. It already sets a dangerous precedent. Everyone that was using OtherOS, everyone that has had a faulty PS3 laser....and those interested in PS3 custom firmware and homebrew applications. We cannot do it alone, we need the support of everyone the homebrew community, the media, engineers that understand the inner workings and anyone else that can provide support."

There is a good chance it wil just be that.. Temporary.. Problem is if they don't win, it will set a dangerous precedent for the rest of the world!!

31/08/10:- Just got off the phone from my guy at Quantronics and he has informed me that while they are "Quietly confident" of the outcome the judge was unavailable to sit in session today so proceedings have been delayed until Friday.

He has also said that they have some excellent engineers to explain the how it works and how it does NOT break any infringement laws.

Fingers crossed people!!

03/09/10:- It's not looking good..

I haven't got any news yet but both OzModChips and Quantronics have removed the PSJailbreaks from their sites and Quantronics has moved the AT90USBKEY and Teensy2 boards from the Modchip section to the Development Tools.

It could also be that the court case may take some time and it is not worth keeping it advertised.

04/09/10:- Spoke to my guy at Quantronics earlier today and the verdict is... There isn't one.. Yet..

It is in the hands of the courts now.

Until then I guess we'll have to make do with making our own. Lets hope they don't put a Cease and Desist Order on the people releasing the code like they did with HDLoader on the PS2.. As long as there is no SCE code in there it should be alright.. :D
