Re: Sony v PS3 Hackers Suit
Class Action v Sony on Other OS Update: Update on the suit, with Sony's filing another motion to dismiss. Of note, Sony asked the judge for discovery on the PLAINTIFFS' computers and PS3s. If that sounds odd and perhaps unfair to you, you're not alone. Sony seeks to prove that they have hacked their...

Re: Sony v PS3 Hackers Suit
Hotz's lawyers have responded and some of it is interesting. I'll start with the big one, whether or not Hotz is, in fact, blickmanic. Now, SCEA claims that Mr. Hotz must have created a PSN account for the name “blickmaniac” because the serial number of one of the Playstation Computers that Mr. Hot...

Re: Sony v PS3 Hackers Suit
More details: Sony's "proof" involved their records showing a PS3 with the same serial # of one of the four PS3's Hotz owns (one he bought in late February) being used to create a new PSN account on March 10th. The PSN account was created from an IP address geographically located in Hotz's hometown,...

Re: Sony v PS3 Hackers Suit
Small update: Sony filed it's opposition to Hotz's motion to dismiss on the grounds of California not having jurisdiction. Read if you want. The short short version is that all of Sony's subpoenas apparently turned up almost squat. They're back to trying to argue that Hotz signed up for a PSN accoun...

Re: Sony v PS3 Hackers Suit
tl:dr = Sony and Hotz's lawyers are squabbling over jurisdiction issues. Sony got subpoenas to get the IP addresses of everyone who saw/commented on the youtube video, visited geohot's website, and/or donated him money through Paypal before he asked for donations for legal fees. Sony fed the judge ...

Re: Sony v PS3 Hackers Suit
Short update:
Sony gets German police to raid hacker's house, confiscate hardware, press charges for 1 million euros in damages Graf chokolo was the hacker in question. He's "guilty" of working on reverse engineering the PS3's hypervisor in order to install linux on the PS3.

Re: Sony v PS3 Hackers Suit
Minor update: Geohot asked for donations to help pay for his defense and closed the donation link overnight, claiming he's got enough money for now . Guessing a lot of people donated because he said he had something like $10,000 in legal fees already when he opened it and that he wanted to hire two ...

Re: Sony v PS3 Hackers Suit
Added stipulation Geohot to turn computers over to a third party, NOT Sony Sony sent out emails to people with hacked PS3's warning them that they'll be banned from PSN if they don't unhack their consoles. Interestingly enough, some people are reporting that they are receiving these letters WITHOUT ...

Re: Sony v PS3 Hackers Suit
Again, I don't give a damn what you do with what you bought, but bringing it up to me in my playtime on the Playstation Network in online games and ruining the games is what's making me hate it the most and say it again: he shouldn't have released it, if he really wanted the PS3 cracked, he could h...

Re: Sony v PS3 Hackers Suit
Sorry phane, but I gotta call BS on that simply because GH distributed the data on his site, and put up a guide under his name on YouTube. If he tweeked it all by himself on his own hardware and didn't spread it around, do you think Sony would be knocking at his door now? Your own property, you do ...
