The latest news of the case Sony v Geohot is here. The million dollar question is “who is blickmaniac?” Sony claims that they have evidence of Geohot having a PSN account registered under the name of blickmaniac. Lawyers of Geohot have objected and have pointed to a post on the PS3Hax forum from someone claiming to be the owner of the account, blickmaniac, as well as the well known hardware hacker Bob Blick:
Guys, this is all a misunderstanding …That console that Sony talks about is mine and the PSN account was created by me!!! See, I live next door to George Hotz and we’ve always been good friends. At the time I bought the console, I was waiting to be connected to the internet by my ISP so I asked Hotz if I could use his for a while…Good neighbours, that’s all… SUCK THIS $ONY :thefinger::thefinger::thefinger:
Update: The court has finally granted George Hotz’s Motion to Dismiss or Transfer (see the snippet below). According to the latest court documents, Hotz and his lawyers have accused Sony Computer Entertainment of America (SCEA) of not having any rights over the PS3 console–codes, programming tools, terms of service / user agreements, websites, etc–with the exception of the PlayStation Network (PSN) service–Sony Computer Enterainment of Japan (SCEJ) has ownership over the console
