1 On January 11, 2011, Plaintiff Sony Computer Entertainment America LLC
2 (“SCEA”) filed a Complaint against Defendants George Hotz (“Defendant Hotz”), Hector
3 Martin Cantero, Sven Peter and Doe Defendants 1 through 100.
4 SCEA has alleged that each Defendant, individually and in concert with the other
5 Defendants, has: (1) circumvented effective technological protection measures (“TPMs”)
6 employed by SCEA to protect against unauthorized access to and/or copying of SCEA’s
7 proprietary PlayStation®3 computer entertainment systems (“PS3 System”), and other
8 copyrighted works; and (2) trafficked in circumvention technology, products, services,
9 methods, codes, software tools, devices, component or part thereof, including but not
10 limited to the Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (“ECDSA”) Keys, encryption
11 and/or decryption keys, dePKG firmware decrypter program, Signing Tools, 3.55
12 Firmware Jailbreak, and/or any other technologies that enable unauthorized access to
13 and/or copying of PS3 Systems and other copyrighted works.
14 SCEA has alleged that Defendants have violated the Digital Millennium Copyright
15 Act (“DMCA”) 17 U.S.C. §1201, et seq.; the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (“CFAA”), 18
16 U.S.C. § 1030, et seq.; and has alleged contributory copyright infringement arising out of
17 the Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. §501, et seq.; as well as related state and common law
18 claims for violation of the California Comprehensive Computer Data Access and Fraud
19 Act, Cal. Penal Code § 502, et. seq., breach of contract, tortious interference with
20 contractual relations, trespass and common law misappropriation.
21 On January 11, 2011, pursuant to Fed. Civ. P. 65, Civil Rules 65-1 and 7-10, SCEA
22 moved ex parte on its claims for violation of the DMCA and CFAA against Defendant Hotz
23 for a Temporary Restraining Order (“TRO”), an Order to Show Cause why a preliminary
24 injunction should not issue, and an Order of Impoundment (17 U.S.C. § 1203 (b) (2)). In
25 support of its motion, SCEA has submitted a Memorandum of Points and Authorities, the
26 Declarations of Riley R. Russell, Bret Mogilefsky and Ryan Bricker In Support of Ex Parte
27 Motion for Temporary Restraining Order And Order To Show Cause Re Preliminary
28 Injunction; Order for Impoundment; a proposed Temporary Restraining Order, Order to
-1-
CASE NO.
1 Show Cause, Order of Impoundment, and a copy of the Complaint. Following notice to
2 Defendant Hotz, this matter was heard on January __, 2011.
3 Having considered all the papers and arguments, the Court finds that SCEA has
4 shown a likelihood of success on the merits of its claims for violation of the DMCA and
5 CFAA, and that it will suffer irreparable harm unless Defendant Hotz’s violations are
6 enjoined. The Court also finds that a Temporary Restraining Order and Order of
7 Impoundment are necessary to prevent immediate and irreparable injury to SCEA before
8 the hearing on the Order to Show Cause regarding the preliminary injunction can take
9 place, and to preserve the status quo. The Court further finds that the balance of equity
10 and interests of justice support granting such relief. According, this Court enters the
11 following orders:
