(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”Winky Winky and George Hotz (“Hotz”Winky Winky 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.
