Sony lawyer says operating system removes legal request to dismiss prosecution

Multi-Play Network (compiler/wendy) since Sony removed the "Other OS" feature on PS3 in the April firmware update, Sony Computer Entertainment United States Branch was thus subject to the user's class action, Sony's representative lawyers responded to the matter, last week, asked the court to dismiss the prosecution. In April of this year, Sony removed the "Install other OS" option in the modularity version 3.21 firmware for anti-cracking reasons. Because the famous iphone hacker George Hotz has publicly published the use of the "Install other OS" option in the PS3 game to load the Linux operating system, and then use the Linux system to obtain administrator control of the game system,　　This will be able to play pirated games in the PS3 detailed PS3 crack method.　　The plaintiff said Sony had "other OS" features in the ad, but then removed the feature and stripped the PS3 user of the software, but Sony's defense attorneys said the plaintiffs ' lawsuit was inconsistent with Sony's US product quality assurance, software License Agreement, PSN terms of service. "These agreements provide a license to PS3 users, but are not owners ' interests, which clearly indicate in the Software license agreement and the PSN terms of service that Sony America has the right to remove or change software features, including this controversial firmware upgrade." Therefore, the plaintiff's request is impossible to achieve, because Sony United States on the PS3 made any changes or removal is appropriate and legal. Sony also said the plaintiffs were unable to provide any mass media advertising campaign proving that Sony America or PS3 the "other OS" feature in the ads.　　Instead, the plaintiffs produced vague articles and unrelated third party publications, as well as extracts from the Sony United States website and user's manual, out of context. "A plaintiff has never installed a Linux operating system since owning PS3, two plaintiffs have used other OS functions, but only to do and PS3 own operating system can do, a plaintiff presumably to play a specific Linux game, Another plaintiff used the Linux system extensively to perform day-to-day operations of e-mail, text editing, and spreadsheets. Sony also cited messages from the PS3 user's message board, stating that users thought they didn't care whether PS3 had other OS features or Linux features before.　　In addition, a large number of users are quoted, and some users say they are upgrading the firmware because they do not care about other OS features. On November 4, 2010, the two sides will also conduct a hearing, the plaintiff asked Sony to submit information on the decision to remove other OS features of internal files. The plaintiff's lawyer told IGN: "We are reviewing Sony's proposal to dismiss the indictment, which is common during this stage of the proceedings, and we believe we have enough reasons to deny it." We oppose this proposal and hope that they will make a decision in November, and we ask Sony to submit internal files on why other OS features are removed and we would like to review those documents.
