But that's something the user is doing. This repo has the Linux distro, which is by itself neither a circumvention, gives instructions to circumvent, or performs a circumvention of the DRM to run, thereby passing DMCA muster.

It's somewhat similar to the situation XBMC was in back when the X still stood for Xbox -- the code itself is OK by the DMCA, but compiling it required use of unauthorized dev tools (if the user didn't have a license from MS, which they likely did not), distributing the binaries was a violation of the DMCA (due to statically linked, non-free MS libraries), and installation of said binaries was also a DMCA violation (as it required the user to circumvent the DRM on the console).

One github repo mentioned in the article is the exploit, and a basic functional webpage to "do stuff" with it.

See, https://github.com/kR105/PS4-playground/blob/gh-pages/js/exp... for example.

It is also illegal under the DMCA to traffic in circumvention technologies; ergo GitHub, by continuing to host this material, is breaking the law.

F* the DMCA! That's not my stupid law!

Signed - not a US citizen!

I wish more US citizens would demand the same: http://www.fixthedmca.org

That said, similar garbage laws exist in many countries: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-circumvention

It might be, or it might be not. DMCA is a major mess and is itself quite unconstitutional to begin with.
