On Tuesday night, New York City-based Travis La Marr, or @exiva on Twitter, tweeted the 40-digit root key to @TheKevinButler with the cryptic message, "Come at me." Kevin Butler is a character from Sony's Playstation 3 commercials that became so popular, the company turned him into a spoof spokesman for its Playstation products. After La Marr's tweet, Kevin Butler responded by re-tweeting the entire jailbreak code plus a playful message, "Lemme guess...you sank my Battleship?" It didn't take long for Sony Computer Entertainment America (SCEA) to realize that its ######## spokesman, managed by ad agency Deutsche in Los Angeles, had spread the jailbreak code around Twitter. The careless retweet shocked even La Marr. "I did not at all expect a reply from whoever maintains the account,Office 2010 Home And Student Serial Key," La Marr told PC Mag. "The fact that they retweeted me, including the key,Microsoft Office 2010 Pro, well, that was just ...unheard of." In a followup tweet he posted,Office 2010 Home And Business Keygen, "My life is complete. Sue yourself, Sony" accompanied by a TwitPic of the code, which has already been deleted from Kevin Butler's page. Others on Twitter have been thanking La Marr for "sticking it to the man," as one tweet read. Why did La Marr, who doesn't even own a PS3,Windows 7 Ultimate X64, do it? "I posted the Key online because I'm a huge believer in the fact of if you buy a piece of hardware, it's yours. I posted it to encourage hardware freedom.... I didn't post the key to condone piracy in any way," he said. Furthermore La Marr, like many in the gaming community, was incensed by Sony's aggressive clampdown on Playstation 3 hackers. In January, after suing the now-infamous PS3 hacker Geohot, aka George Hotz, and the 'fail0verflow' group of hackers, for attempting to release the PS3's root key, SCEA won a restraining order against the hackers. The company is also reportedly planning to subpoena YouTube, Facebook, PayPal, and others to track down personal details for other famous PS3 hackers. "This just seems very excessive to me, and I hope that Google stands up for their members rights in this situation," La Marr said. Sony wasn't immediately available to comment.
