it's the same company that was packing a rootkit on their audio CDs.. i guess if you're a corporate entity it's harder to be held responsable for your actions, compared to a random guy hacking hardware that he owns and posting the source code online (not even binaries). it's not like he purposely infected all the PS3s in the world with his hack (like Sony did with the rootkit).

i still don't understand how this shit got so far.. GeoHotz got a temporary restraining order, Graf Chokolo got his house raided and his hardware seized by police

i thought this shit can only lead to a civil lawsuit in a sane world. just because some hackers published their hacks source code researched on their own hardware, doesn't mean it forces anyone to use it.

they couldn't really bring down the torrent site owners. how is this Sony legal rampage floating? how is this worse than REAL piracy or equivalent?

well gl to sony in winning a court case against 123,456,789 faceless internet handles and IP's, and chasing all these people, the best they can do is to sue the hotz guy and get an exemplary punishment for him, but they wont be able to do that either since he did nothing that can be proved as a crime. Sony should call it a gg and have better anti-piracy hardware next time around and focus on damage control for now if they are smart instead of a dragged lawsuit that will cost them million dollar fees for lawyers and nothing in return.

WE SHOULD DROP A NUKE ON EM...LIKE THE OLD DAYS!

smile in court and say "fuck ya nans............. BBC------------------;C"

Looks like net neutrality is beginning to go straight down the shitter...

afaik geohot's hack was just to enable the otheros feature, which was supposed to work but was disabled by sony
