I just received word via phone today that $ony is now sending C&D letters complete with their legal team contacts to US-based Web sites selling HD Loader! As a result, some sites have already pulled the product while one site we are aware of is attempting to fight it. At this point in time there is no comment from the official HD Loader site (perhaps because they don't actually sell it), but I have a feeling HD Loader may indeed become more "homebrew" and less commercial in the upcoming months unless this legal matter gets resolved and $ony loses (doubtful).
As this news is NEW to us even, we don't have a copy of an actual Cease & Desist letter, however, hopefully in the near future one of the targeted sites will post theirs for others to view displaying the exact details. At this point in time, we can only assume the infringement lies in either the fact that HD Loader allows individuals to rent games and copy them to their HDD on an unmodified PS2 console, or perhaps because some copyright $ony code was used in its creation.
oui c'est vrai...
Sony demande le retrait de la vente des hdloader sous peine de poursuite judiciaire (meme si cela n'est pas gagné d'avance pour sony je pense que ce coup de pression va en decourager plus d'un...)
