Streisand effect[1] for the win.

Top comments on both this wired article and other linked ones has the code[2].

This judge is sorely out of touch with what's going on.

Also, "Sony is also asking Judge Illston to order Google to surrender the IP addresses [.pdf] and other identifying information of those who have viewed or commented about the jailbreak video on Hotz’ private YouTube page. The game maker is also demanding that Twitter provide the identities of a host of hackers who first unveiled a limited version of the hack in December." ...take from that what you will.

Even Kevin Butler, VP at PlayStation, retweeted the PS3 dongle key: http://twitpic.com/3xwe6h

Edit: OK, he's not really a VP. He's a character played by Jerry Lambert. The advertising company Deutsch/LA controls his Twitter feed. And check out the titles he gives himself in their ads: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WgwNyb80L0s&playnext=1...


Fake VP, I should note. He's an advertising construct.


Fake VP. It's a persona from their ad campaign.


I'm getting 28,900 results for the erk string: http://www.google.com/search?q=C0+CE+FE+84+C2+27+F7+5B+D0+7A...


Maybe they should just ask Google for a list of everyone that hasn't seen that string...

Sony isn't trying to put the genie back in the bottle, they're trying to punish the kid who uncorked it.
