Alternative Operating System: Justice Sided with Sony
In April 2010, the Japanese group has updated the program for the PS3, removing the possibility of using open source systems, based on a Linux kernel. But this option was available before. Sony explained that this was intended to prevent the pirating of games, and use of unauthorized applications.
Tough choice
Soon after, a user of the console, Anthony Ventura filed a complaint in California, denouncing the abandonment of this feature. Mr. Ventura deplored in particular the difficult choice was then subjected to the player. Either he agreed to do the update from Sony, and could not use an alternative operating system, or it would not update, and could not access the online features of the console, the PlayStation Network .
To justify his decision, Judge Richard Seeborg, in charge of the case, including that argued that the holder of a PS3 accepts a license for the program and the console to access the PlayStation Network. Under the terms of this license, Sony can change or remove certain features of its service, said the specialized site The Escapist .
