What is the DMCA argument here? Does anyone know what was alleged by Sony?
It would need to be either using copyrighted code or circumventing copy protection. Neither seems likely for a frame rate mod.
Could be distributing a modified copy of a copyrighted binary.
Possible I suppose, but if that worked, not sure why they couldn't just provide a diff patch that worked on the user's existing binary...
Forgot they are dealing with Sony.
