Yea they are actually using that against him. THere are trying to also get him for Extortion.
"Finally, SCEA will likely prevail on its claim under §1030(a)(7)(B), which prohibits
“intent to extort from any person any money or other thing of value” by threatening “to obtain
information from a protected computer without authorization or in excess of authorization or
to impair the confidentiality of information obtained from a protected computer without
authorization or by exceeding authorized access.” Hotz violated this provision when, in the
same post in which the published SCEA’s Keys, he attempted to obtain from SCEA “a thing
of value” in the form of employment: “if you want your next console to be secure, get in touch
with me.”"

Sony is going to make an example out of him. They dont want every kid in the world to think the best way to get a high paying job is to hack somthing. I appreciate his work, but cant say I didnt see this coming.

The only reason Sony is doing this is to keep the game developers happy.

I'm sure he saw it coming too! Come on the dude is 21 and hes been sued by so many. Hackers like Geohot and fail0verFlow are for the people not for the big corporations. He probably could have helped make one of the most secure Playstations ever. To bad Sony has to go sue crazy.

Oh yea and they are not only suing the two. They are suing 101 people. :/

I saw it coming. I wouldn't blame Sony at all. The term 'Hacking' is illegal. He broke the ToS made via Sony. He should handle the consequences.

I read the first 13 pages of the Motion for TRO. I don't think sony really stand a chance with this lawsuit.

Pretty intense. He's not a minor by the way. He cracked the iPhone at the age of 17 in 2007 so he's 21 now. I don't really feel like downloading some court papers :P

He broke the ToS? Well technically they didnt. they accessed parts of hardware that THEY own.

Neither fail0verflow or Geohotz did this with the intention of piracy, its people after them that have enabled those functions.

As i said, Sony are clutching at straws, and are trying to make examples of them
