In Sony’s ongoing legal crackdown against PSJailbreak and related devices, the company has filed a second round of court orders that target several retailers of the USB dongle, including those selling variations or “clones” of it, such as PS3Break.

Specifically, SCEA points out that these devices circumvent the PS3’s TPMs (short for trusted platform module) under the DMCA.

The documents, once again unearthed by garyopa of website PSX-Scene, contest that “the sole function of the PS3 Jailbreak device is to circumvent SCEA’s TPMs in order to enable the PS3 System to create unauthorized and illegal copies of copyrighted video game software.”

Various user guides from forums detailing how install and run PKG files – such as the “Backup Manager” have been stamped as evidence to support Sony’s claim. Unlike the last filing, open-source variations of the hack such as PSGroove and PSFreedom, went without a mention this time around.
