Sony Sues Datel, Maker of a PSP-3000 Hacking Extra Battery

Sony Europe has filed suit against UK-based Datel, maker of the Max Power Digital Battery accessory for PSP, alleging copyright infringement for Max Power's ability to circumvent Sony's encryption protection for the PSP. Interestingly, the Battery was originally sold as the Lite Blue Tool, an explicit hacking device already frozen by Sony previously. Sony believed that with the launch of the PSP-3000 piracy was "trending downward."

Changing the Name Didn't Fool Them? Damn...

The PSP has enjoyed quite a bit of hardware success but not as much software success, in part due to large amounts of piracy. It isn't surprising that Sony is going after them, especially in these lean times.

I have been wanting to do this also with my old PSP Slim 2000 as the default battery it has at the moment is too old and doesn't hold its charge and plugging the PSP into the wall all the time doesn't make it portable the only battery I have is a 2600mAh from a cell phone I disassembled the device but as it was a phone battery it was powering the phone via a ribbon cable was looking for some help on the matter
