(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); I'm rather surprised to see geohot and SCEA have settled after all the nonsense, but hey I guess that's how these things work. I'm actually more surprised to read about it on the PlayStation blog. On March 31, Hotz and SCEA reached an agreement where Hotz in part agreed to back off, consenting to a permanent injunction, meaning he cannot hack and share anything PS3 ... ever! Now I wonder if the same applies to other Sony hardware. Hopefully Groklaw can obtain full details of the settlement.

From the PlayStation blog:

Sony Computer Entertainment America (“SCEA” and George Hotz (“Hotz” today announced the settlement of the lawsuit filed by SCEA against Hotz in federal court in San Francisco, California. The parties reached an agreement in principle on March 31, 2011. As part of the settlement, Hotz consented to a permanent injunction.

Both parties expressed satisfaction that litigation had been quickly resolved. “Sony is glad to put this litigation behind us,” said Riley Russell, General Counsel for SCEA. “Our motivation for bringing this litigation was to protect our intellectual property and our consumers. We believe this settlement and the permanent injunction achieve this goal.”

“It was never my intention to cause any users trouble or to make piracy easier,” said Hotz, “I’m happy to have the litigation behind me.” Hotz was not involved in the recent attacks on Sony’s internet services and websites.

Now it's just Sony Vs. OtherOS'ers and Anonymous.

JB Is gay and so is REBECKA BLACK, i call myself 780 because it sounds cool and haz 3 numbers

Not to be a Grammar Nazi but, it's Rebecca. :whistle:

ok sorry ill +rep u for that lool

ahhh....Well that was all pointless i guess

Geohot can still hack, mod, or crack the ps3, but he can not release anything Sony related by himself. He'll have to give it to someone else and give that person the credit. Amirite?

yep true enough

That's pretty crazy since he did cost them a sure lot of money. Sony just has to face Anonymous now which is going to be one hell of a fight. I'm still waiting for what Anonymous' next move is going to be since they're probably going to console ban a whole lot of people due to them getting the IP's of geohot's downloads/site. Sucks if you downloaded his program or w.e. Luckily, I didn't download it.

So do we not get ANYTHING out of this?? I thought Both sides would get something out of it.. Gay.

WHY SONY U MAKE ME MAD LIEK TREYARCH oh sorry for caps but its an okay descision
