Read the spoiler if you haven't:

A federal magistrate ruled this week that Sony can subpoena the ISP of a hacker who has released a PlayStation 3 jailbreak, as well as order Twitter, Google, and YouTube to hand over information from his accounts on those sites.
Sony is suing George Hotz, alleging that he violated the Digital Millennium Copyright Act and the Computer Fraud Abuse Act for distributing on his Web site his tools for jailbreaking the PS3, which enable PS3 owners to run home brew and pirated applications on their console. The DMCA prohibits the trafficking of devices designed to circumvent copy protection technologies.
The decision by Magistrate Joseph Spero in the Northern District of California grants Sony the right to ask Hotz' Web provider, Bluehost, for the IP addresses of visitors to Hotz' geohot.com site since January 2009, as well as server logs and other information related to the account, and information on computers that accessed or downloaded files from it, Wired reported.
According to court documents, Sony also wants Hotz' tweets that relate to his hacking of the PS3, as well as information on people who posted comments to his blog on Blogspot and on people who had access to a video he uploaded to YouTube demonstrating his jailbreak tools.

Anyway, I have been messaged multiple times about this, with people asking me what they're going to do. Relax. They aren't going to sue you or hunt you down. Do you really think they have the time to do this to millions of people? Of course not. The only logic behind this in my opinion is Sony just using the number of IP's that visited his sites as evidence in the case. I know this may seem like common sense to some, but there is a lot of unneeded fear going around.

So everyone should just relax and calm down. Unless your name is Graf_Chokolo or Geohot don't be afraid

like you said that thay dont have time to sue millions of people, it also wouldnt make sense at all for sony to sue people for going to a website

Thanks for confirming this :y: My theory was that they may ban the IP address', but it seems as if they are only going to be using it as a statistic in court.

Thats a load off my mind

I wasn't even aware of this until I read this read LOL xD Thanks for the info

I hate sony, look at the way the ratted graf_chokolo's house, they had special forces do it, FOH, they're cockroaches, hope they burn in hell

Oh Sh*t were all gonna die !!

So what ? Anybody can enter the site and download a file...This proves nothing...Sony is bullshiting

People!
There not using it to track us, (how could they track us through Youtube Twitter etc) There probably going to be using the Stats
on court against GeoHotz. No Doubt they will have 0 post accounts
on here too reading every word. :hitman:

Awesome read as always, in reality the only people who should be in fear are both the head hunters who hacked Sony's console. Anyways, I'm already pumped up too see what Sony will do next.

They are so unpredictable at times that it makes me laugh.

Thanks again for an awesome read
