>Tokyo, Japan – Sony Corporation (hereafter “Sony”), Sony Music Entertainment (Japan) Inc., and Sony Global Education today announced the development of a rights management system for digital content that utilizes blockchain technology*1. This new system is based on Sony and Sony Global Education’s previously developed system for authenticating, sharing, and rights management of educational data, and additionally features functionality for processing rights-related information.
>Blockchains create networks where programs and information are difficult to destroy or falsify, and are well-adapted for the free transfer of data and rights. Those traits give blockchains many potential uses across a range of services including finance, merchandise distribution management, and the sharing economy, and blockchains are expected to bring about even more innovative services in the future. At present, they are also used in public P2P network transactions, primarily involving cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin.
>This newly-developed system is specialized for managing rights-related information of written works, with features for demonstrating the date and time that electronic data was created, leveraging the properties of blockchains to record verifiable information in a difficult to falsify way, and identifying previously recorded works, allowing participants to share and verify when a piece of electronic data was created and by whom. In addition to the creation of electronic data, booting up this system will automatically verify the rights generation of a piece of written works, which has conventionally proven difficult.
I don't have any fucking words for this or the shitstorm that will follow. Sony can go fuck themselves with a rusty pipe.

Blockchains are incredibly easy to crack. All cryptography is. A lot of the standards are "good enough" to thwart modern PCs unless you have literally tens of thousands of them concurrently solving the problem and looking for the answer.
Computing power eventually gets better, holes are found and published, reducing the power needed by factors of 2 and 10, the standard eventually rots away in favor of a new standard. This has happened constantly since the beginning of computing and it will continue to happen

And? Cryptography is bypassed, not attacked. Sony used some pretty complex stuff with the PS3, but that was utterly irrelevant when their security system would do what any random code told it to, and that they were using the equivalent of the xkcd dice roll for the random number generation. That's how it usually is for DRM and security systems in general.

I'm not really seeing anything conceptually new applying to restrictions themselves. The blockchain is used to automatically record and store author information (who and when created what), which, I presume, is supposed to replace (or augment) the existing government-run copyright archives. Looks like this targets plagiarism rather than piracy. Although there is an excerpt that could apply to DRM software more directly:
>Furthermore, the system lends itself to the rights management of various types of digital content including electronic textbooks and other educational content, music, films, VR content, and e-books.
It seems like Sony considers using blockchain to store license information instead of their own servers. From user (and pirate) perspective I doubt anything will change - servers were always out of pirates' reach anyway.
On a more positive note, it seems Sony itself doesn't really know how to use this idea for the actual restrictions management, hence "the system lends itself" rather than a more concrete "system will".

The worst thing about PS4 is you can't even install game patches without PSN. You can work around this on hacked systems but that only applies to 5.05, and 5.05 also limits your options a lot at the moment. The scene is nowhere near as fleshed out as the Vita.

Though I question how they hope to have blockchain even work for something like this.
I'll admit I'm not well versed on all the newest memetech, but from what I saw of memecoin mining doesn't it work off of solving/guessing equations which often times takes a server farm worth of equipment to get any kind of results?
How do they hope to sell games if you need a server farm (the cloud need not apply, nowhere has internet that good) to run it just because of the DRM?
Because we all know it won't be a one time discreet blockchain check to see it's "yours" with these kikes, they'll be running a giant blockchain constantly.

I've not tried this but the summary is you basically need to find the patch download link(s) for a game on one of two sites, if it exists.
https://www.orbismodding.com/
https://ps4.octolus.net/search
Some patches are split, and need concatenation with some tool before they can be used. Not sure if you can use just cat for that, I hope so. From there you just need some way to install packages on the PS4, which is done through the standard modding. Title IDs are found on the disc or in the PSN URL, pictures related.

Been more or less the same case on the NA one. While some companies eventually do permanent markdowns, in other cases they're all to happy to ask full price nearly year round, to the point you get games that are multiple years old going for a full $40/50/60 they were at launch. And not just with digital only games where they have the excuse there's no aftermarket to be had for them here, but also ones with now-much cheaper preowned copies that for some reason they simply don't care to compete with beyond short duration sales.
Or did you mean in regard to Japanese developed games on the western PSNs to begin with? Just saying because I know it could be the case either way depending on the anon.

Thinking about it now the irony of media versions of quantum computers is that they're just super computers but really fast, real quantum computers would just bypass the cryptography entirely via time and space dimensional shit. Time and space is meaningless to a quantum computer.
The downside of a quantum computer is all the same versions of a quantum computer will share the exact same data across all versions, so if you can hook into one all of them of the same specs are compromised.

If this is bait you really should make it clearer, put in ":^)" or something. I'm too autistic to tell if you're just pretending to be a boomer or you really do think quantum computers are made by wizards out of unicorn tears.
Quantum computers are able to beat conventional cryptography because the factorisation problem that underlines it can be run exponentially faster with quantum algorithms than classical ones, but they still need time and processing power to run the algorithm. The qubits of a quantum computer are only entangled with the other bits in the same computer, not all versions of the same computer (if that's even what you're trying to say).

Confirming this works as I just tried. This is the guide I used though for getting access to the package installer (online exploit used), and it seems to be like Vita in that it isn't a persistent exploit since I lost all that on rebooting the system. Which is fine, it was only needed for installing the patch.

I'm probably wrong on this but wouldn't blockchain DRM be the best form of DRM? It would just be a file gotten from the central server that cannot be edited. It would allow you to play offline completely and not have something constantly checking all your files for tampering. It just boots checks the for the key and then goes on. You could even put the file on a physical disc and never require an online connection.
