We missed some big news in theYou must login or register to view this content., it turns out that Sony is not just going to after the PS3 hackers but also the ones who watched or commented in Geohot’s “Jailbroken PS3 3.55 with Homebrew” Youtube video.
Yeah,
. Watched? You’re on Sony’s really long list of people to sue.
What seems to be absurd is that Sony asked Youtube, LLC to provide all information they can get of all the viewers, commentators on the now private Youtube video page – even our private IP addresses.
In addition to that, they also demanding Twitter to reveal the identities of hackers in fail0verflow team as well as @KaKaRoToKS. Well, that’s going to be a hell of documents.
“The discovery they call for in my opinion is overbroad,” George Hotz’ attorney, Stewart Kellar, said in a telephone interview to Wired.
Furthermore, in addition to Sony’s TRO, where geohot was forced to remove the PS3 keys and jailbreak from his site, he is now being ordered to give up all his computer gear to Sony. Stewart Kellar, geohot’s lawyer, is trying to convince the judge otherwise.
And you know Sony isn’t stopping there — they’re still looking for team fail0verflow, KaKaRoTo, Waninkoko, graf_chokolo, Hermes and Kmeaw, who again, most of them anyway, are outside DMCA jurisdiction, I think…
Anyway, back to PSN… Like any situation in life you have three options:
1) Buy a second PS3 (Sony will like you more), hack it or use it for PSN, and do the opposite with your current console;
2) Forget your current hacks and upgrade your console to firmware 3.56 right now;
3) Sit, chill, and wait for future hacks potentially getting you back on PSN … but you know the risks involved with that.

How ****ing stupid is that, What if someone, MISTAKINGLY pressed the Play button Nah jokes. This is stupid. Sony can get there console and Shuv it up there arse

Well I used to be a loyal Sony fan, Laptop's, TV's, Games Consoles e.t.c... but now they can go **** themselves.
I'll send them my PS3 with a letter saying that if they want so much control over what I do with the PS3 I paid hard-earned money for, then they can just HAVE my PS3!
Just keep digging yourselves a bigger hole Sony...

If you are in the us
They can"t sue people for looking at a youtube video, not yet at least.Give the American government another couple years to totally break Americans and I bet they'd let sony execute you in public if they wanted to.While all your broken country men stand by and allow them to.I swear I think they captured Saddam and gave him a desk in the white house.
