Sony disavows lockware patent
Following on revelations that Sony had patented a technology for binding a videogame to a single console to prevent lending and resale (not to mention playing your own games on a second console or after your original deck gets broken or ripped off), the company has promised not to apply this technology to the PS3. No word on which console they intend on applying it to. Link, Roundup post of Sony's DRM misdeeds. (via Digg)
