Riiiiight. So is Hotz not allowed within 500m of a Sony office then? ¬.¬

How much did Sony pay the judge, this is ridiculous, there was resounding evidence to the complete opposite of what they have stated there.

$ony definitely paid somebody off or the judge is incompetent. How are you gonna change your mind about there not being relevant info? Fuck the judge and fuck $ony. I smell bullshit...and a paid off judge...

It's bullshit for sure.

Guess what sony no matter what u do u will not stop this movement. Sony winning this is just gonna outrage people more and fuel the people to pirate more. This is just one more example of how our justice system is flawed and can be bought. Corporations run America and here is another example.....fuck the US government, justice system and most of all fuck jewish money hungry $ony

it says in the legal documents that sony had to put down 10,000$ for "security purposes for the court" to even get the TRO passed....wtf? thats proof of paying off the court....

dude calm down, i'm sure geohot's lawyer's well get this overturned

i hope so but ive seen first hand how the justice system sucks. i watched a mexican judge let off beaners with the same charges as me without a single dollar to be paid.....since im american i got stuck with a 2500$ ticket... go figure....

Can you please hold back on the racism dude? Unfortunately there's favouritism everywhere in the world but that doesn't warrant insulting an entire ethnic group.

Well, so much for the judge not having jurisdiction over the entire universe.

What the actual fuck did you just say?

That's gotta suck for Hotz, it's not like he's the sole orchestrator of the PS3 securpocalypse.

I feel he's being singled out simply as he doesn't use an alias and is well known from the iOS Jailbreaking community. Making an example of Hotz is just cruel and in no ways productive in stopping the PS3 Homebrew community. Plus, they're going after the wrong guy, Hotz's work has specifically allows uniquely identifiable homebrew and prevents piracy. If Sony wants this to pan out in there favor at all, they should be backing Hotz.

You're an idiot.

Is this entire case public? I don't mean legal papers released on either side, I mean is the entire thing in the public domain? If not nobody here can really make any claims on it.

Furthermore, Illston is hardly a corporate shill. If you're going to talk about someone at least research them. Ruling history.

We've kinda gone away from what's important, what I can't seem to figure out is what law(s) did fail0verflow and geohot break? My understanding is they never released anything that contained Sony's own code, so they didn't break a law.

I'm with Zero aswell, doesn't seem right that they're singling out geohot almost exclusively (doesn't seem like they're pursuing members of fail0verflow, or any of the other 100 "Does" with the same intensity). Anyway, hopefully this will get overturned, otherwise we are heading in the wrong direction.

They can't do anything to fail0verflow at this point really. The TRO was granted under the DMCA, which has no jurisdiction outside the US.

In fact Sony's whole basis for this case seems to hedge on the DMCA. Ridiculous thing is, all this circumvention stuff is completely legal for mobile phones. There's no reason why it shouldn't apply to all devices. I hope this case changes that.

Yeah, I don't get it.

It's fucking stupid to say the least. And I feel sorry for the guy if this doesn't get overturned.

I feel sorry for all of us if this doesn't get overturned. This has huge implications for all of us.

I love how all of Sonys "evidence" against him is pure circumstantial, its fucking retarded. There is a name on PSN named Geo1Hotz or whatever, so they fucking claim he HAS to have an account and agreed to the TOS of PSN, or they send $1 to his paypal account and it goes through so they claim he was accepting donations and making money off of his work on the PS3. How could a judge ever actually go along with this garbage and not dismiss the case.

Whats wrong with "JEWS AND BEANERS"? and how does this affect you in any way?

I know this has been said already but I need to put these quotes together:

Why would she so blatantly contradict herself? I mean, I've been following it pretty closely and I'm positive that there wasn't any groundbreaking information tying geohot to California.

Also, did the judge just pass the restraining order? Or does geohot also have to surrender his PCs, PS3s, etc. Different sources, say different things, so anyone actually know?

According to the most recent filing, they have given him 10 business days to surrender all hardware that was used for the hack.

I bet that apple, m$, and nintendo are all following this closely. As if the out comes go in Sony's favor, I can see those other companies following. Eventhough for Applejailbreaking is legal for the users to do. All these companies will just target the main sources of the hacks for all devices modded.
