The firm filed complaints to GeoHot, fail0verflow and 100 other unnamed defendants after they broke through the console's security, allowing it to run custom firmware and homebrew software, according to Engadget (via VG247).
The court order said that the defendants "circumvented effective technological protection measures … employed by SCEA to protect against unauthorized access to and/or copying of … PlayStation 3 computer entertainment systems … and other copyrighted works."
