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.

Totally feel bad for the guy... his entire life evolves around his PC's and Playstations. Guess he'll have to start from Scratch.

Something odd going on, the judge ether doesn't understand or has been paid off.
He never agreed to the psn terms. He doesn't live in california he shouldn't have even gone there.

Money talks in the US more than anywhere else, so this hardly surprises me.

Tell me what you think and Quote this back to me... i want to hear what you think
Yeah! I know right! If you bought a new toaster and decided to mod it to 'noclip' and 'giveall toast' etc, the company wont come after you, they would prbably thank you for making the toaster even better and it attracting more customers to have a go at it! Same for the Nintendo DS, you can get M3 and R4 cards etc to play literally any damn game you want and what do Nintendo do? Nothing.
Sony are starting to eat shit out of a barrell filled with semen...
I think we should all submit a complaint to the courts to withdraw the TRS!:plank::derp:
