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.

Wow this is dumb move by Sony i hope they dont plan on releasing anything big soon because many people that buy their product are the ones getting sued so you know what what ever Sony go ahead sue ever one but dont plan on stocks/sales going up any time soon
Sony cannot sue the people/person who have watched that video. Like how many people have watched it now? I will tell you now, I am 14 years old and if they go anywhere near me, considering I live in the UK, I will karate-chop their ass back to Japan.
