    Sony steps in, takes Datel to court over Lite Blue Tool


    Posted Jan 11, 2009 at 02:57PM by Gino D. Listed in: News Tags: Sony, Datel, Europe, PSP-3000 Ó
    30 QJ

    Datel has just revealed that Sony is taking legal action against their service mode battery that advertised itself as a PSP-3000 hacking tool. This is following news of Datel's pulling out of the battery - the Lite Blue Tool - and changing its product description.

    Actual specifics of the court case weren't revealed, however, this is the statement issued by Datel to PortableVideoGamer, in response to a query about why the orders for the battery haven't arrived yet:

    Due to legal action by Sony Computer Entertainment Europe we are currently not able to fulfil orders for the Lite Blue Tool Battery. Any orders received for this product have not been processed and no charges have been made. We will inform customers about availability of this product when this situation has been resolved.

    Current speculation over why Sony's taking legal action against Datel holds that they're building the case on the grounds that Datel is using proprietary source code from Sony (i.e. copyright infringement). Supposedly, it's this code that's used on the Lite Blue Tool that allows the "unlocking" of the PSP-3000. If Sony is now building their case on it, they could potentially say that Datel is infringing on their copyright because of their using of the software encryption key.

    Thanks to Muffinly Bliss for the heads up!

    If Datel created the decryption key themselves, aka 'clean-room', then they have nothing to worry about. I doubt that they did, so look out!
    Very funny....not.

    Essentially, but since there is no custom firmware for that mobo or the 3000 mobo, not much can be done with it.

    Take back my comment about gripshift. As it seems Team Gen has come up with an euro gripshift exploit that may allow you to access kernel mode, thus allowing the possibility of better homebrews, Emus and iso usage. But they have not release it. I cannot post a link up yet since you need to have 15 post but feel free to check up pspgen web site. hopefully D_A will get his hands on this and we might even see some cfw for the 3k!!!
    PSP 1k/3.40 OE-A (ta-79), PSP 1k/5.02Gen-A (ta-86), PSP 2k/5.00m33-4 (ta-88v2), PSP 3k/4.20 (ta-90v2)

    from what i've heard it's a big fake, and isnt this a semi old topic?
    I came, I saw, I modded

    If you enjoy the Twilight books then I highly recommend that you look into bestiality and necrophilia, you'll find that they are similar!
