Devhook running into legal problems! |
Ó

With all the success of Devhook, I guess it was getting too uncomfortable for Sony on their comfy chairs. It seems that pspsoftware.ddo.jp, the actual release site of Devhook has received a Cease and Desist Order from Sony with regards to distributing Devhook.
Now my Japanese isn't something to write home about, so I'll leave it to 0okm, who has got the translation covered. Here's the translated text:
"Reboot_1.50.bin is the copyrighted material by SONY, that is mixed with DevHook0.43fix.
Warning from SCE to those who up-load DevHook0.43fix comes.
Moreover, please annul it at once when downloaded 0.43fix is preserved at hand, and it uses it.
Not seeing this knows and there is a possibility to use, too.
Please inform me of this when there is an owner in surroundings.
Moreover, the main body of DevHook and the relation file of all versions were deleted from this site.
As a result, opening DevHook on this site to the public is completely stopped."
Now you don't need to have a Masters Degree in English to make sense of that. Sony has taken action on PSPSoftware.ddo.jp for distributing Devhook and have also requested them to notify someone at Sony when the uploader (Booster) is online.
One thing's for sure, Booster will need to find a new place to host his awesome homebrew. But seeing this happen, I wouldn't be surprised if SCE/Sony start going after sites who are hosting Devhook. Well, let's just wait and see how everything pans out. A small suggestion by me would be to download the latest versions of Devhook as soon as possible, just in case everyone is forced to remove them off their sites.

We are simply cracked out kids hwo have nothing else to do than to play around with our beloved PSP.
You're the ones making millions. Booster is one of the only programmers to have actually create an alternative to homebrew vs new firmware requirements that lets us play with our new UMD's
I do admit that we can load iso's... but its not the only reason why we use DevHook. I use it to play my owned games, and to play with C++ on my free time.
And plus, we only represent like 5% of the PSP population. And by the way... ISO loaders have been around for a long time.
PSPUpdates would never post homebrews that has only negative impacts to the community.

If you hate Sony sooo much, why did you get a psp in the first place?
Oh yeah to play ISO's.
You bought a psp because you LOVE Sony PS2, am I not right? So quit it.
I knew this was inevitable, Hosting firmwares, ISO's and the lot is real illegal and Sony is going to show people that they mean business. It's been the matter of their talk for some months now. You just gotta read the right sites to find out. Go dig through the corporate sites of Sony and you will see too.
Stop being a bunch of complaining, hypocritical, ignorant bastards.....It's getting old.

People should stop complaining about Sony taking action against downloaders. Really... them losing a lot of profit means no new games for u little kids to download. Go cry to some real developers...maybe help out the scene a bit and donate? You think just because ur 12 and immature with no money to pay for games you can download them. WRONG.
DEVHOOK IS NOT GOING TO DIE BECAUSE OF THIS! STOP ACTING LIKE ITS GONE ALREADY!

Every dev has his time with the spotlight,
and then fades away.
For example:
Back in the day, Humma Kavula was one
of the big dogs. Then, for mysterious reasons,
he quit.
DevHook has been around just as long as
Humma's creations (which I will not name).
Then who came along?
MPH! He gave us an alternative, and helped out a lot.
Right when we thought MPH was the best there
could be, Fanjita & Ditlew fell from the heavens!
Just as their heavenly waves subsided,
Booster made a comeback along with a new posse:
Dark_Alex/Moonlight, jas0nuk, and a few others.
So you see, there will always be a new gen
of devs as long as the provider keeps
provoking them (much like when a beast
is provoked and taunted with a treat).

Sony want it to remove because it can load the iso.

I just hope Booster and his associates are resourceful and dedicated enough to set up a new shop somewhere discreet, and under new aliases.

DevHook itself isn't illegal in any way, it does not contain any copyrighted information of Sony.
I believe the site has stopped all distribution of DevHook as a precaution, to make sure it does not get in bother again. If there were grounds to remove the use of DevHook, it would be long gone by now.

Anyway, my biggest concern is that pretty much sony went off searching through every little peice of devhook ever released to find a little brownie point to attack. And they found one little thing that booster didnt even release. Its like the idiots that blame ipods for hearing damage. How petty fo sony...

Warning to the DevHook0.43fix upload person has come from SCE.
In addition, when 0.43fix which is downloaded retaining and using for labor assistant, please cancel directly.
The person who does not look at this without knowing, using, there is also a possibility of finishing.
When the owner is around, please inform concerning this
In addition, DevHook itself of all versions, we deleted the related file from this site.
Because of this the release of DevHook with this site becomes stop completely.

Question is.....How many people are actually going to do this now??I wanna have an Idea and that way...if sony is looking at this.....see what they have done.
Are you going to do this??? or just going to keep your old devhook and play the games that only need 2.7???
If they dont make an 2.8 devhook.....

you think sony's going "oh no, they have copyrighted material! We can't go on with other people having access to reboot.bin!" or do you think sony's going "let's think of another way to make people update their firmware. I know, legally attack homebrew devs!"
what the hell is one to do with reboot.bin other than use it to emulate higher firmwares and go back? Why the hell should they care if someone has reboot.bin? No reason other than to stop devhook and make people upgrade

I had a feeling this would happen, they pinpointed the ONE copyrighted file (the reboot.bin, obviously) and have taken it as far as law permits, ordering the file down and requesting to speak to Booster.
Not Good =(

Let me ask you this. If there was no such thing as loaders, and no way to play anything other than UMD's on your PSP, would you own every single UMD that you have an ISO for?
Not god damn likely!!!!!!
Well they base their lost revenue numbers on ALL the ISO's downloaded everywhere (and even that is an assumed figure), which is at least 100x more than what they've really lost in sales.
So yes piracy IS wrong, but let's be realistic about how harmfull it really is, especially when homebrewers only represent about 5% of the market.
I mean I know many people who own PSPs who don't have a clue about homebrew, and I don't bother letting them in on the secret either.

A homebrew that emulates a higher firmware is all legitimate users need to play 2.71 UMD's. I think devhook can boost more sales for sony if it didnt support ISO. This way, 1.5 users and 2.71 users alike can enjoy retail games.

With the 100s maybe 1000s of PSP sites on the net, torrents, hosting sites, and P2P programs available, Sony can't stop them all.

And to the others who think this is great. *sigh* if you need to be so ignorant as to come to psp updates to read about hacks and homebrew and the actual updates, and then comment that something as sad as this is good, it proves you have no life, and you are very shallow minded. Please find your nearest corner, go sit in it, and F^@k youself. Thank you.

Do you really think that any Sony employees read this website and think, "Oh man, they are calling us f**kers. We should just let them use illegal things". No they don't.
DevHook is ONLY legal if it doesn't use any copyrighted material, when it does they have a valid reason to demand a cease and desist.
Personally I hope Booster continues his work and uses a different way of spreading and is very careful not use any copyrighted material with spreading.
Good luck Booster!

i don't see where all the hate is coming from. Everyone seems to be up in arms because sony is trying to squash homebrew. Everyone knows that the mojority of people use devhook to play pirated ISO's and to say otherwise would be a lie.
If i was sony, i'd do the exact same thing. as for the PS3. i'm getting one because its a great system.

Sony will only succeed in driving Devhook (and progs like it) further underground. Instead of trying to stop homebrew, Sony should wise-up and embrace it. It's a battle they can't hope to win anyway, and embracing the inevitable will win them a lot of credit amongst the people who actually buy their products.

If we appreicated or donated more money to them then our odds might be better. He would have to choose
A) Do I put out emulators for free and make good money while building a loyal fanbase? or B) Do I give in the SONY and take this weak ass check and sign this stupid ass contract that says I'm to never develop again?
It's an easy choice but the young or stupid choose to flame and leech.

i guess this is going to be a serious stop in dev'ing firmware hacks, but who knows, booster can allways change his name..... others can pick up where this one left off, and of course this may just lead many hombrew hackers to go to the more illegal torrents....
i think in the long run, sony is gonna be in a big hurt for trying to attack the HB community by means of law suit, and if they actually do try to get booster in court, i for one will no longer support the psp or sony (with money)

Also, let's face the facts -- if DevHook dies, another programmer will step in to fill in the gap. What's to worry?
I do wish that DevHook couldn't load ISOs.
Reply

Would you stand by idly while some thug robs your house? I think not
Sure they're morons for not supporting homebrew, we've seens heaps of cool stuff come out by homebrew developers, but at the end of the day, this is their PSP, they can choose to make available whatever the hell they want! Devhook is a great piece of software, but it also allows ISO loading so that's piracy right there.

Some say, get a GP2x. But that is a sucky idea because 1) you have to order it from a foreign country online and 2) you have to put the screen or something together when you get it. This means that dust gets stuck under the screen protector, and 3) it has no 3-d graphics support built in like the PSP does. The first reason is what mainly deters me. I hate ordering something that takes forever and then arrives and malfunctions. Even though walmart sells me defective already-returned products 75% of the time, the store is only 5 minutes away so I can go back and exchange it.
Some of you complain that GTA:VCS will not be playable on your 1.5 PSP's. I'm hopeful that devhook (renamed probably to something else to avoid legal stuff) will be eventually able emulate the required fw. If not, it will come out on the PS2 like LCS did even if R* and Sony insist otherwise.
Yes, we can all go and download all the crappy games as isos, and we can try to take down Sony. But there will always be a big corporation teasing us by flaunting their powerful but cheap hardware, and then screwing us over after we buy it.

Honestly, are you 12 years old? Do you really think that if we boycot sony, it will make a difference? Let me spell it out for you, N-O.
Also, including instructions on installing/obtaining a file unlawfully? Are you stupid or something?
That could be compared to a website dedicated to informing the world how to make bombs/rockets with common housetools, it is simply STILL illegal.
To everyone:
All you whiners need to shut up and grow up. Flaming Sony won''t make your life any better nor will it make them stop taking action against DevHook.
And to the random retards that say only people with firmware 2.71 are telling you that you are retards, you're wrong. I have 1.5, i use DevHook but i won't cry about it and have a little fit like all you little kids are having.

since sony loses money on the hardware, we should get bill gates to buy all the psps, and just hoard them, then eventually sony will go bankrupt and 360 will win

-Nobody is crying about this predicament, were all just upset at the fact that sony wants to make there profits even though there to stupid to realize homebrew is what has increased there sales (yet they still frown)
-people are suggesting that booster informs us on how to obtain this copyrighted file on our own, the reason this is not illegal you prick is because this file is in our dam psp's which are entitled to us because we bought it, therefore we can do whatever we want with it (just like when you buy a house its your's right so if you so please to you can have sex, drink beer, have a smoke watch t.v etc.)Since you love giving examples just thought i'd give you one
-and last but not least we can complain all we want towards sony its called freedom of speech, and yes it will make a difference because this will show sony (couple of there employees reading this now) this was a real bad move for them or should i say one of many (contriversial ads, stupid firmware patches, skyrockting umd game prices etc.)
You would think that the genious minds who made the psp would be smart enough just accept homebrew and realize that it's benefiting them... well those 20 millions psp's that they shiped out in hopes of them all selling them for the holidays, lets just say there going to stay on the shelves
ps. sorry for the long post but sony and #341 aren't to bright (trying not to hurt either of their feelings by not using such a harsh statement like such F*****g dipshi*s)

plz listen to me,These some translation is wrong.
I develop it, and Devhook will not stop.
Because it merely lost upload, and the "person who uploaded" it is bad directly.
I think that it may not still become a development stop now, but it is ... which it seems to be examining as of now.
Do you think that you may stop it as it is, everybody? Indeed is such a thing; come over, and carry it on its back. BOOSTER is on a bulletin board called 2ch. I will come this evening. Surely "the Japanese who is not the person concerned of Sony" of a thought same as us thinks about the same thing, and surely BOOSTER is answer ....
A sentence is clumsy, and a long sentence is sorry.
Reply
We can all admit that Booster made a mistake when he upped this 'fix' (if it was him). Sony answered.
The problem imho is that PSPSoftware had to assume the consequences for this matter. His website has been shutted down, so he had to change hosting. So now he have to put everything that was in his Wiki in order but he wrote that his motivation was seriously down.
It shouldn't be the end of DevHook anyway, so there's no really needs to complain about this.
I think Sony is still playing fair. They haven't got too far.

As for everyone saying that Sony are in the right, just remember that just because you've probably upgraded and can't use homebrew, doesn't mean that everyone else should have to put up with your *****.

Sony where waiting for any exscuse to close the net on Devhook, it just needed somthing that crossed into legal grey area.
The fact they are activaly looking for the "uploader" means they intenend to take legal action of some description to make an example to other Devs.
Thankfully, as far as I know, Booster wasn't responciable for the fix.
This means that Sony have finally made there intentions VERY clear.
They do NOT want ANY PSP user to be able to RUN OR DEVELOP UNLICENSED CODE.
They do NOT want ANY PSP user to be able to change firmwares or run custom firmwares.
The message is very clear - any 1.5 user who wants to legaly purchase and run current PSP games will have to either upgrade firmwares, void warrenty (UP) or run illegal ISOs.
In the latter case, if Sony are going after Booster over somthing so trivial to make an example - you can be sure they'll be soon going after people who download ISOs to make an example too!
Sony are closing the net.

"Nobody is crying about this predicament, were all just upset at the fact that sony wants to make there profits even though there to stupid to realize homebrew is what has increased there sales (yet they still frown)"
It's called 'crying' because people are flaming sony for doing something legal. And you are all crying about it, not just upset. Maybe you should ask your mommy how to control your temper.
"people are suggesting that booster informs us on how to obtain this copyrighted file on our own, the reason this is not illegal you prick is because this file is in our dam psp's which are entitled to us because we bought it, therefore we can do whatever we want with it (just like when you buy a house its your's right so if you so please to you can have sex, drink beer, have a smoke watch t.v etc.)Since you love giving examples just thought i'd give you one"
Copyrighted material is never *yours*. It still belongs to them.
"and last but not least we can complain all we want towards sony its called freedom of speech, and yes it will make a difference because this will show sony (couple of there employees reading this now) this was a real bad move for them or should i say one of many (contriversial ads, stupid firmware patches, skyrockting umd game prices etc.)"
It's still retarded to flame a company that won't and quite simply doesn't care what a small community thinks.
Good job on bringing up "Freedom of Speech", maybe you would be smart enough not to comment on others and calling them dumb if they are expressing their thoughts on the matter. I never said anything about it so you can't even try to catch me on that.
"You would think that the genious minds who made the psp would be smart enough just accept homebrew and realize that it's benefiting them... well those 20 millions psp's that they shiped out in hopes of them all selling them for the holidays, lets just say there going to stay on the shelves"
Why would they do that, explain to us what it would benefit them to allow ISO loaders on the new firmware versions, it wouldn't at all. It would only decrease the amount of games bought and in the end, the end of PSP.
Really, I don't understand where some of you americans get their logic from. I'm sure that most people out there will understand that other companies such as Microsoft or Nintendo also don't want others to do things with their products they aren't supposed to do, or do you have proof that Microsoft supported people running SNES emulators on their Xbox?
Get some facts, get some brains. (Also, you have some awful spelling and grammar, maybe you should go back to school now, i'm not even english and i know you suck at english.)

I can assure you this that I will not upgrade ever. Started with 1.5 and will keep it. If it gets to bad I
will drop the psp and get back on my beloved Area 51 Laptop that does a whole hell of a lot more. Psp will hit the closet. I have deep pockets no biggie. Just liked the psp becuse of the homebrew and portablity. So
what ever happens happens. My PSP stays 1.5.

I think sites should just start hosting the devhook eboots, the file used for the update for the fw that the devhook is going to emulate and a .exe file or something which opens it up so you get the other files or something. That'd be nice.

The only thing Sony is crying about is the DevHook0.43fix as it has the reboot file in it.
All DevHooks since then are FINE and not ILEGAL in anyway.
QJ net is worrying people for no reason.
Booster just needs to carry on with devhook with a new name as long as he does not add Sony files

You can suck it! Why do you even come here then? If you can't rely on QJ then why do you even come here? All you do is make people like myself hate people like you!
I would be willing to beat the ***** out of you!
I rely on QJ to bring the news to me, whether it be news or hear-say. Who cares, as long as they are on top of gaming news! This is news to me and it saddens me to hear of it, but people like you only sit there to bring everyone else down even further by hitting QJ in the soft spot by claiming that it is all BS. Well shame on you for being a member of QJ and not supporting them!
SHAME ON YOU!!!!!!!!!!!! !!

he did not release the 0.43 fix that the C&D is about
some stupid ass guy packaged the reboot.bin in that fix
booster never packaged the reboot.bin in any releases
he is so careful with the firmware files telling you were to put the right files he wouldn't slip up
all other versions released by booster do NOT contain areboot.bin but a msreboot.bin wich is like 90 times smaller so it cannot be from the 1.50 IPL
ha take that $ony
booster has just disappeared to work on FW 2.80 and not stopped like you all think
he has ""disappeared"" before like the huge time between devhook 0.22 and 0.3 and the time gap between hookboot 0.92 and devhook 0.21
these times were he could not be found anywhere
AND he is japanese SO since when did american law aply to japanese people
HUH!!!
he uses japanese firmware
so US law does not apply

Please stop wasting your time chasing the home-brew, instead of that work on giving us good games. Dumb-asses, get your priority right !
The only reason I use DevHook is to play my GTA UMD on my 1.5 !

Sony has taken a move they have every right to take. Everyone here to says Sony is stupid for doing this is stupid themselves. Its the software that Sony has rights to. its software that they spent money on having people develop, is there any profit for them to allow that software to be distributed on the internet when they make no money off of it?
Emulation can only go so far. There will be a firmware out there that even devhook wont be able to emulate and thats going to be FW3.0 when the PS3 is released. So what if they attack the homebrew scene. Half the people here either play ISOs, roms, or other games that they dont own. Nintendo "could" go after every single person who plays Gameboy, SNES, or N64 roms on the PSP. Sega could go after anyone who plays genesis roms on the PSP.
Until the PSP can emulate DS roms, nintendo probably doesnt care if they can.
Screw programs like devhook that make more trouble for Sony. Its programs like Devhook and ISO loaders that Sony spends more time patching up these holes instead of spending time on releasing a good firmware. Its also the reason that games require firmware upgrades to play. There are indeed good homebrew programs out there that Sony would probably be happy to allow. But more people like to use the ones that Sony needs to stop.

1. the umd tools being leaked, so sony got pissed at that and took it out on booster
2.because of the firmware breakthroughs (2.6-2.8 being decrpted) and booster got us caught up.
either way, sony are just being asses and i say screw them, its the last time i buy a UMD, torrents for me it is.

Sony just wants the site to stop hosting the file with the 1.50 reboot.bin in it. Dev-hook is not going to die and for the fact taht his hosting site wants to stay away from legal issues has stopped booster from using their site is all. He just needs to find a different Host for his files and take out the illegal files then its all good. We can get the file ourselves we got our own 1.5 psps that we can extract the file from. Its not like we had to go searching for 2.71 reboot.bin for the newest devhook anyways.
So relax ppl as far as we know atm Devhook is not dead, we won't know until booster says it is. Or if he has antoher hosted site. Or better yet he can just upload a torrent to a server and have it downloaded that way.
Think PPl think and learn to read!

#2 You do have a right to run a backup of a backupped UMD Game yet you also have to have that game legally purchased not rented for it to be considered *YOUR* backup. You do not have the right to run someone elses backup. But I havent read the TOC and EULA for the PSP yet.
#3 People keep saying Sony cant do this and Sony cant do that. Well guess what WAKE UP! Sony can do whatever the ***** they want they have money, with money you have power. They can easily shut down a website and if you host it off your home server it'll be fun when a Lawyer pops at your door sueing you.
#4 People say Sony just doesnt want homebrew. Thats not fully true, why dont you see them suing Fanjita or Ditlew for the eLoader? Hmm? Its because it doesnt allow for piracy, why the hell would you purchase a PSP for piracy? You must not want any good games or a second psp to come out.
Note: The preceeding statements were for the case that the argument and the lawsuit was real which I DO NOT THINK THE LAWSUIT IS REAL. I believe its a big hoax.

Second, Is Booster really in trouble? I'm pretty sure its the .43 fix that's the source of the trouble. But devhook is on version .46, right? Booster didn't actually include it in his code, right? So he should be home free. But If I was him, I'd try to talk to Sony, and see what they have to say.
Third, all this ISO talk. I am against using ISOs, as it is the reason Sony started all this update mess. I really wanted Monster Hunter Freedom, and I was overjoyed when I could buy it, thanks to Devhook (And I could play my Socom FTB online). And I can play Tekken. I have more than a month before I need to buy another game (Still haven't gotten past the 1-star MHF quests).
Finally, people who are worried about the end of DevHook, download any DevHook update as soon as it comes out. I think that Booster will release at least one more, and then call it quits.
Good luck Booster!

o que é certo é que os users com 1.5 têm em casa nos seus pc centenas de isos que podem jogar á vontade sem que ninguém os chateie (cada um faz o que quiser), enquanto que para os que tem 2.7 pra cima tem que COMPRAR e gastar dinheiro nesses jogos todos
1.5 OWNED? Really? hum... i don't no maybe 2.7+ Owened...
yes i'm portuguese and i have proud
