Graf_Chokolo needs the community's help and as you know he is the one who got his home raided and still updates his linux kernals and other projects. Please help him out in his battle against Sony. He is asking for donations for his fight against Sony. If you have anything to spare please see his donation details below.

Here is a quote from his website:
"Help graf_chokolo to fight against SONY

Guys, i never wanted to take money from anybody for my work. And i always shared my work and code with PS3 developers and community. Recently i was working on bringing Linux to PS3 back, as you all know, unfortunately SONY managed to stop me. Many of you offered donations to help me continue my work and i always declined as you know. But now i really need your help and support in this fight with SONY. Please help me to pay my legal bills which are immensely because i cannot pay them on my own.

Here is my PayPal account: egorenar@gmail.com

And here is my bank account for direct transactions:

Alexander Egorenkov
Bank account:3726068
BLZ:60050101
BIC-/SWIFT-Code: SOLADEST
IBAN: DE62600501010003726068

Please donate as much as you can and want.
Thank you in advance.

And to answer your question “What happens with the remaining money ?”, i intend to give it to CCC club so the club could help other guys like me which get sued by SONY or give it all to some charity organization. I give you my word on that and you know that i keep my word. "

I have donated to support his fight against Sony, because I believe his work on PS3 Linux can benefit the whole PS3 community as well as the academic research on cell broadband engine.

"i don’t care about those threats with jail and high money penalties, btw, SONY wants about 750.000 euros from me if i don’t cooperate They don’t know me at all I don’t care about it and they might double it The higher is the sum the higher gets my motivation They don’t understand what makes me tick. Money and even my life doesn’t mean to me very much without knowledge."

the reality is that he will have MORE than enough money needed to take care of this. If geonot can raise enough in 2-3 days Graf should be able to do so also(maybe not as fast). All he has to do is come out with a great(lol) rap song and take it to the streets

I hope if I ever find you to hang you right next to Sony and an unmodified ps3 to your neck for extra weight to make sure you can't breathe (preferably a phat ps3)

I disagree. Microsoft might just help out.
