How does this compare to Sony vs Bleem? Bleem was a commercial Playstation 1 emulator that Sony sued. Bleem won, but the company shut down due to the cost of the legal fees.
- gjsman-1000 7y agoBleem didn't violate any of Sony's patents or rules. It allowed unauthorized code to run through the use of a bug, but it didn't, you know, come with illegal copies of the games, or copy the PlayStation ROMs. It didn't copy any Sony code. It let users use the console in a way Sony didn't like, but didn't ACTUALLY "harm" Sony in any way. This is different. In the US, bugs are actually "legal" to buy and sell and protected by the 1st. However, how you USE those bugs is a different matter. What is happening here? Corellium has copied iOS code, is running it on non-Apple hardware by virtualization, and justifies what would typically be a majorly illegal process (i.e. what if HTC made a phone running iOS?) by claiming "security researchers."
