Just like GitHub, Sony has sent out takedown notices to Gitorious--requesting the removal of PS3 related repositories that may infringe on their copyrights and/or patents.
Go here for the complete DCMA takedown notice. And if you go to drizzt's gitorious mirror, all you will get is this message, "Sorry. page not found".
Message from Gitorious:
Greetings,
We're writing you to inform you that we have been forced to remove your Gitorious repositories containing PS3 related code. We received a DMCA takedown notice from Sony this morning, and Norwegian law commands us to respond to such a notice by removing potentially infringing content until it's legality can be fully clarified. If you can provide Gitorious with irrefutable evidence that this code is not violating neither Sony's copyrights/patents nor Norwegian law, you are welcome to keep hosting the affected repositories with us.

Why does Sony bother sending these DMCA notices? I mean, it's not like PS3 hackers can't move their repositories elsewhere!
