Hackers have successfully broken into older versions of Sony's PS3 firmware to boot copied games, though homebrew is a way off.
Just over six months after it first hit the shelves, hackers claim to have successfully circumnavigated the PS3’s anti-piracy software by exploiting firmware versions 1.10 and 1.11, CVG reports.
By doing so they have successfully booted up copied versions of PS3 games – although at the moment, hackers are yet to get the copied software to run. To date there has also been no success in getting the console to run homebrew software.
Despite Sony’s ongoing efforts to halt it, the PSP is home to a thriving homebrew community, and the publisher will no doubt be hoping that the PS3 does not go the same way.
However, the fact that networking and internet connections are so integral to the PS3 experience works in Sony’s favour, as any user who wishes to modify their machines faces the prospect of being cut off from Sony’s PlayStation Network.
Microsoft has implemented similar measures with its Xbox 360, blocking access to Xbox Live.

Hi Great blog , My squidoo lens is also on same subject. I hope u dont mind if i share its details here :) Are DVD Decrypter Programs Hurting the Movie Industry?
You should really stop and consider this question carefully. First
there is a clear indication that DVD decrypter programs are used in a bad
manner such as making illegal copies of movies for sale. But are you
aware that there are actually legal situations that allow you to create
copies of the movies you own on DVD? With most movies costing close to
$20 each it is quite easy to see why people look for anything they can
to help reduce replacement costs.

Re: Unknown
Contraty what you say
SHUT THE HELL UP!
PS3 has no piracy yet, and it will remain piracy free for some years. So your uninformative linuxdumbfan note is not correct.
PS3 lives, sony won against piracy
