My how the tables have turned once again. A surprising turn of events occurred the other day. In regards with the court case between George Hotz (Geohot) and the Sony Corporation. The Judge overhearing the case actually went into the favor of Sony Corporation.

The judge decided California did indeed have jurisdiction of the case and granted Sony's request for a temporary restraining order (TRO) against George Hotz.

What does this mean? It means that he has to surrender his PC's, PlayStation 3 consoles and just basically anything he used while hacking into the PlayStation 3 console/gaming equipment.

So in this thread I would like to see what your comments about this is. Do you feel bad for him or do you agree? Can't wait to see what you guys have to comment on.

i agree with geohot on the part when he said how much of the ps3 is really yours i think you should be able to use your patch_mp.ff in private match for cod hacking and for online you connect to a server with a clean patch_mp.ff ... but anyways that just a thought...

In my opinion, don't flame me for this or anything similar. Yes, the ps3 might be ours if we bought it or was given to us but you have to create some common sense here. Sony made the system and created everything you are using in there except for some games. Clearly if I am right, GeoHotz was trying to hack through Sony's servers to find a way to get free games, which in fact is PIRATING and is against the law. The makers of the certain products have thought, concept, and created the product with quite an effort, which is worth paying at least.

Now I don't want you all to think I'm in Sony's side, I'm not. In fact I'm not on either side since I'm a neutral person. I don't hate ps3s nor X-boxes. But my point here is, well Geo might have tried to give us a treat here but seriously? I mean most rules are meant to be broken that's why their made. But there are some rules that were or are broken but taken too far and this is one of them. Hacking servers that are owned by big companies like Sony is basically saying that you will get butt ****ed.

We play, hack and glitch but taking some of it too far is just a death trap.

Why can't we all just calm down and just hope for the best for whatever is going to happen next and just stop crying about this issue.

Because that's a small issue. Have Treyarch to bitch at so seriously.

Anyways this s one of my bad sides:
Who ever said that kids who think they can hack because they download some crap and followed a noob tutorial doesn't mean they hack. They are just spoiled 8-10 year old kids that cries to their parents when they get whooped by a better player.

Off-topic:
This may be the longest reply I made ever since I joined this site. YAY.

PEACE! >out<

Yeah I know now :y:

How can he restrain him from using a ps3? -.- if hes using it legit to play games surely they cant stop him?

Well you stated that Geohot was hacking the servers to find a way to get free games.Which is incorrect that was not his intention and thats why his firmware patch you wasnt actually able to do that, without modding itself. These few other dev's and just people that know little programming code took what they had available produced different versions which could be capable of pirating games

They could refuse him another license to the PS3 OS so pretty much they can and will.




It's a civil case, no they can't.

Replying aside, I'm not really surprised this happened but then again neither should anyone have been it was pretty obvious.

I hope Geohot sing rap music during the trial in court:

he's pretty good

he deserves it for putting up that motherf*cking software so that every 6 year old with a ps3 could hack every lobby i get in... it was fine when like 100 responsible people had it and didnt go around deranking everybody but now its worse than xbox ever was
