PS3 gets hacked
According to Edge, the "unhackable" PS3 has been hacked, with details to follow, apparently.
This is timely, with the latest round of Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement negotiations underway now in Guadalajara, Mexico. Those negotiations cover a wide range of copyright-related topics including anti-circumvention. One proposal is for civil and criminal penalties for breaching anti-circumvention provisions. The US has also proposed that anti-circumvention provisions be expended to cover technology that prevents access to a work (in addition to preventing reproduction of the work)
The US, of course, has anti-circumvention legislation as part of its DMCA. Canada has no such legislation, but for years has been been debating the appropriate Canadian approach to circumvention of copyright protection.
