Finally its going to be over. But at what cost? (permanent injunction )

[Swiftkilla]

Its good to see this case come to a close, but I thought Geohot wanted some things from this case like OtherOS?

[betrayed olive]

so what basiclly? both lost or won? maybe a new cfw can finally arise.

A permanent injunction order is typically issued for the purpose of requiring a person or entity to permanently stop acting in a certain manner.

Hotz is a *****.

I'm guessing the injucntion is

No acess to anything on-line Sony own (such as PSN, & Sony store if there;s one on the xperia play)
No more hacking of the PS3
Forfit all he owns to do with hacking

[Robbie Tanner]

I wonder where the hundreds of thousands will go that he received from people to help with his case...

He said he's donating any excess funding here - http://www.eff.org/

edit: as for proof, says so on his site http://geohot.com/

How much should I donate?
Put it this way, Sony has 5 lawyers, I have 2. I'd like to level the playing field, and really get some hard hitters in there. I have already racked up over 10k in legal bills; donate whatever you feel like. Leftover donations at the end of all this will be donated to the EFF.
