Not as far as I'm aware, no.Not believing Hykem is a thing i can understand, but Crediar ?
You're breaking laws even just by trying to reverse enginering a firmware AFAIK no ?

But what i'm sure is that in the US, if you're bypassing a security, you're violating the copyright act, don't care if it's for homebrews or piracy, you "can't" crack a protectionNot as far as I'm aware, no.
Why would Smealum have not been raided, then? Or Yellows8? Or the more active people in the Nintendo scene?
must be different for the iphone then coz u CAN jailbreak your iphone and it is legal......but obviously this is a different case......But what i'm sure is that in the US, if you're bypassing a security, you're violating the copyright act, don't care if it's for homebrews or piracy, you "can't" crack a protection
Dunno, don't care, just hope is alright and pointing what everyone seems to think "hey he just broken soime protection, that's not illegal", but, yes, it totaly is.
thats great news then,,,,,obviously he must have other copies in other places....I don't know the actual reason yet, as soon as I know I'll tell you.
The day before a detective called to confirm the address, that's when hykem who already used encrypted HDDs wiped all this stuff.
So whatever they are looking for won't be there anymore.
I doubt one would risk making copies knowing that the police is going to come, lol. And besides, he was cooperating with smea and yellows8, so they would have the exploit as well.thats great news then,,,,,obviously he must have other copies in other places....
Of course not, wiping his HDDs is the final excuse ...thats great news then,,,,,obviously he must have other copies in other places....
thats what i meant i.e. in OTHER places.....lolI doubt one would risk making copies knowing that the police is going to come, lol. And besides, he was cooperating with smea and yellows8, so they would have the exploit as well.
The Jailbreak is on the exeptions list of the Copyright Act exemtions yes (it's been 6 years now), so it's not (anymore) law breaking to jailbreak.must be different for the iphone then coz u CAN jailbreak your iphone and it is legal......but obviously this is a different case......
i dont think it was ever confirmed that it was smea and yellows8......but how can they arrest hykem and leave smea and yellows8 alone.....makes absolutely no sense....I doubt one would risk making copies knowing that the police is going to come, lol.

Hykem said he wasn't working with anyone else. Why people continue to say this, I have no idea. But the only way he would have really been raided, is if he had a stolen property (i.e. devkit, official tools, etc.) he wasn't supposed to have.i dont think it was ever confirmed that it was smea and yellows8......but how can they arrest hykem and leave smea and yellows8 alone.....makes absolutely no sense....
obviously if theyre working together then all parties wd have the exploit....so?????
