Recently Sony has been threating to sue anyone who is “distributing” the jailbreak code for the PlayStation 3 gaming console.
Sony’s lawyers have recently asked a judge to subpoena Google, Twitter, and Paypal in attempt to gather information of those who have viewed or commented on, or about the jailbreak. Their request for a subpoena was denied.
This brings us to what happened on Kevin Butler’s twitter page; Kevin Butler is Sony’s (fictional) spokesperson, and holds many (also fictional) positions within the company. It seems Sony is trying to keep their VP of tweet-relations out of the loop when it comes to this very real news event.
Travis La Marr (aka @exiva) tweeted the PS3 METLDR root key at Bulter with the challange “Come at me”, Bulter’s reaction was to retweet the entire thing, confusing it with a Battleship reference. Obviously someone at Sony realized the mistake, and the tweet has since been removed.

>Awesome, they tricked this guy good
>"Their request for a subpoena was denied."i think the only option in this case
>Great. No console is indifferent to the power of hacking eheh.
>That is amazing. 🙂 Grats to @exiva!
>never realised he liked Battleship so much lol
>i don't think all this pirating on the ps3 is that bad though, psone and 2 were pirated too and they were still sucessfull
>LOL, Ah…Ignorance can be sweet. YOU FRAGGED MY FRIGATE!
>what does jailbreaking mean?
>Jailbreaking should be legal.
>LOLOL this is awesome. I don't have a PS3 (or 2 or 1 for that matter) but I hate to see consoles get locked down like sony is trying to do. Bad PR imo.
>I thought that this was funny. Sony stop trying so hard
>Oh wow, hahaha. People should recognize hex code.
>can i subpoena anyone I dont like?
>I saw that, really funny!
>Dumb shit ever. Sony should like they take with other consoles that was hacked/cracked. Do nothing. If PSN was really awesome maybe they could do something but it isn't.
>Of course the subpoena was rejected. What the hell is sony thinking :OThey are trying too hard. Oh and thanks for adding me to your list 🙂 I'll do the same as soon as I get my new layout finished =] Cheers!

>that guy is awesome. the number is right by the girls mouth
>Yeah, I heard about this. I'm not sure if it was the actual Kevin Butler, or his writer (or whomever), but it's still funny nonetheless. Nice layout btw.
>Wow, insane that Sony thinks they can sue people for their own thoughts. What do you think Zoe?
>They should just say that they wanted people to do it and congratulate them on it…like some other major companies have done recently.
>hahaha I wish I saw it first hand!
>hahahaha. I heard about this. Also your banner is sick!!
