George Hotz's Lawyers Issue Press Release - Court Denies Sony's Restraining Order

He's been banned, I warned him and he refused to modify his behavior. That comment puts him over the edge.

I hope you IP banned him, because I suspect he has some alts on here as well.

Regardless, I hope George wins. The DMCA is a farcical law that should have been repealed several times.

WOW this day just keep getting better......Congrats PSgroove & Geohot!!!!!

I have no doubt that sony's intention is to Cost these guys a fortune in legal costs to defend themselves against bogus charges, so that they are forced to agree to a cease & desist concerning any further development & distribution of any work regarding the PS3.
While the charges are bogus, legal costs are real. Sony should be giving these guys job offers to develop/ test the PS4.

It's quite possible Geohot's lawyers are working for free. This is huge publicity for them and it wouldn't be the first time a lawyer has taken on a high profile case for free.

So apparently posting something on twitter (which is based in Cal) puts it in California jurisdiction. Oh Sony, you teach us more about the legal system every day!

And business management!

1) Steal feature
2) Sue hackers
3) ???????
4) Profit?

grandy is my new hero <3 I was half expecting to scroll down and see someone asking for tutorials completely unrelated to the court case. And yesss, I.p. ban please hahaha. But anyways, I'm surprised this is all getting as much attention as it is, specifically from G4. Not that I really watch it regularly or anything, but I wouldn't expect anyone on T.V. to dare mentioning a console hack due to the "questionable" nature of one. I thought that in itself was a step in the right direction.

Your probably right on that one. Whatever the case may be in a lawsuit case, I believe the plaintiff should have to pay the defendants legal expense's upon losing. So Mr. Hotz might get paid by Sony after all. Ironic!
