According to Edge, the "unhackable" PS3 has been hacked, with details to follow, apparently.<p> <p> This is timely, with the latest round of Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement negotiations underway now in Guadalajara, Mexico. Those negotiations cover a wide range of copyright-related topics including anti-circumvention. One proposal is for civil and criminal penalties for breaching anti-circumvention provisions. The US has also proposed that anti-circumvention provisions be expended to cover technology that prevents access to a work (in addition to preventing reproduction of the work) <p> <p> The US, of course, has anti-circumvention legislation as part of its DMCA. Canada has no such legislation, but for years has been been debating the appropriate Canadian approach to circumvention of copyright protection.<p> <p> Edge article here.<p>Bookmarks: <a href="http://del.icio.us/login/?url=http://www.davis.ca/en/blog/Video-Game-Law/2010/01/27/PS3-gets-hacked&title=PS3+gets+hacked" >Delicious</a>, <a href="http://digg.com/tools/digthis.php?u=http://www.davis.ca/en/blog/Video-Game-Law/2010/01/27/PS3-gets-hacked" >Digg </a>, <a href="http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http://www.davis.ca/en/blog/Video-Game-Law/2010/01/27/PS3-gets-hacked">Facebook</a>, <a href="http://www.google.com/bookmarks/mark?op=add&bkmk=http://www.davis.ca/en/blog/Video-Game-Law/2010/01/27/PS3-gets-hacked&title=PS3+gets+hacked" >Google</a>, <a href="http://reddit.com/submit?url=http://www.davis.ca/en/blog/Video-Game-Law/2010/01/27/PS3-gets-hacked&title=PS3+gets+hacked">Reddit</a>, <a href="http://www.stumbleupon.com/submit?url=http://www.davis.ca/en/blog/Video-Game-Law/2010/01/27/PS3-gets-hacked&title=PS3+gets+hacked">StumbleUpon</a>, <a href="http://myweb2.search.yahoo.com/myresults/bookmarklet?u=http://www.davis.ca/en/blog/Video-Game-Law/2010/01/27/PS3-gets-hacked&=PS3+gets+hacked" >Yahoo</a>
