I wouldn't go that far, but he's no turncoat and definitely no wuss, he's a young, incredibly intelligent nerd with something to prove. What does he get out of piracy? NOTHING. The people he's looking to impress couldn't give a fuck about piracy, Sony locked down their system, linux nerds raged and taught them a lesson, pirates then come in to make bank on their betters work. They (failOverflow and GeoHot) enabled custom firmware and hence piracy, but it doesn't mean they condone it. That's the problem with closed systems, nerds have to break them to make them open, there are ways to have open enough systems from teh get go without nerds having to break their inherent seecurity, Sony nearly nailed it but shot themselves in the foot late in the gen.

Regardless of what you think of the guy, this could end up being a very important case if it goes to trial. I don't see anything wrong with asking for donations, in a way he's representing a lot of people's interests and exactly how we "own" our hardware.

Other OS lawsuit

Quote

I thought you'd be interested to know what's been happening in the litigation against Sony filed by customers upset that Sony took away the OtherOS capability on their PlayStation3's. Sony Computer Entertainment America, or SCEA, filed a motion to dismiss [PDF] the lawsuit. The court granted in part and denied in part. It has dismissed [PDF] all the claims against Sony except for one -- but with the right to amend -- and the one claim that survived is the one alleging that SCEA violated the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act. Right to amend means the plaintiffs can fix the deficiencies, if they can.

Some of you may conclude that there may be more justice in this world than you thought, when you reflect on the fact that now both Sony and George Hotz face claims of violating the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act.

Apparently 3.60 killed the jailbreak:

Quote

For now, it looks to me (at first glance) that the ps3 has been resecured, but it doesn't mean it can't be broken again from scratch..

Their previous errors were epic fails, it doesn't mean they can't do an epic save either.. they seem to have fixed all the issues they had..

@ChronosWing we already have the metldr key, the thing is that they don't use metldr anymore, at all!

Wow, in 3.60, Sony removed all the loaders, no more isoldr/lv1ldr/lv2ldr/appldr.. but they added lv0.2! Seems they found a way to secure ps3

Groklaw has updated the Class action case against SCEA for the removal of OtherOS.
http://www.groklaw.net/article.php?s...10402000830503

In order to avoid nonsense, PLEASE READ THE LINK!! before making a stupid post and claiming the OP didn't inform you of something.

SCEA seems to be taking a different stance in the OtherOS case than what they are asserting in the Hotz case. In the Hotz case, SCEA claims it is obvious they were the party Hotz was targeting as they are responsible for the PS3 in the US. However, in the OtherOS case, it seems SCEA has asserted the exact opposite and that SCEI is responsible for the PS3 software, so SCEA is the wrong one to sue.

SCEA has also asserted that SCEI is not the parent company of SCEA anymore, while confusingly stating they are a wholly owned subsidiary of SCEI in the Hotz case.

Of other interest, SCEA wants to inspect the PS3 HDD's of those in the class action case. Why, does SCEA want to inspect them? Well, SCEA claims they could be involved in the widespread effort to hack the PS3. (Ms. Sacks is the SCEA attorney)

The war on Sony by 'hacktivist' collective Anonymous has turned personal.

For off-shoot group SonyRecon, successful DDOS (distributed denial of service) attacks on the PlayStation website and PlayStation Store were not enough, reports PlayStationLifestyle.

SonyRecon plans to take matters a step further and carry out 'Dox' attacks on Sony employees. Dox refers to stealing a person's identity - their name, telephone number, pictures, home address, email, IP, family details and so on - and maliciously using that information against them

SonyRecon provided examples of how the stolen information could be used. One example was sending STD postcards - e-postcards - to the target to tell them that one of their previous partners had a sexually transmitted disease.

SonyRecon is still a fledgling operation, but already claims to have brought down Kilpatrick Townsend & Stockton's website - the legal firm handling the George "Geohot" Hotz case.

Yesterday, Anonymous declared war on Sony for its "wholly unforgivable" legal pursuit of George "Geohot" Hotz - aka the man credited with jailbreaking PS3.

"Now you will experience the wrath of Anonymous. You saw a hornets nest, and stuck your penises in it. You must face the consequences of your actions, Anonymous style," a threat read.

Hopefully they target forum dwelling Sony paid shills.

Joint Statement

Sony Computer Entertainment America (“SCEA”) and George Hotz (“Hotz”) 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.

In the action, SCEA accused Hotz of violating federal law by posting online information about the security system in the PlayStation 3 videogame console and software that SCEA claimed could be used to circumvent the security system in the console and allow the playing of pirated videogames. Hotz denies any wrongdoing on his part. Hotz’s motion to dismiss for lack of personal jurisdiction was still pending before the federal court in San Francisco but a preliminary injunction was issued requiring Hotz to take down the postings challenged by SCEA.

“We want our consumers to be able to enjoy our devices and products in a safe and fun environment and we want to protect the hard work of the talented engineers, artists, musicians and game designers who make PlayStation games and support the PlayStation Network,” added Russell. “We appreciate Mr. Hotz’s willingness to address the legal issues involved in this case and work with us to quickly bring this matter to an early resolution.”

Case closed.PS3 piracy running rampant

Looks like a PR stunt.

http://gamepolitics.com/2011/04/12/george-hotz-court-order

Quote

As much as George Hotz says that the settlement agreement is confidential, after reading them one can understand why he would want them to remain buried under the veil of confidentiality. According to those court documents, which have now been leaked to multiple hacking sites, and posted on Videogame247, Hotz was the losing party in the agreement.

Quote

According to those court documents, Hotz has been put under a "permanent injunction" that forbids him from "trafficking in any technology" that "circumvents any of the TPM’s in any Sony product," including any kind of decryption code or technology. He is also banned from assisting anyone else in such activities, or distributing and knowledge or confidential information related to Sony's products.

His hands are tied and his voice is lost when it comes to any Sony products. Further if he does engage in any activity that he is barred from in the court order, he can be fined $10,000 for each incident, up to a cap of $250,000. Should he violate the order, he also agrees that any further court proceedings will take place in California. In other words he agrees that the jurisdiction is officially California - apoint his lawyers argued against during most of his legal battle with Sony.

If there is one thing Hotz won it was that Sony did not ask that he pay any damages or legal fees. Still, Hotz's legal fees were not for free so he ate those, save whatever money he raised from donations and groups such as the EFF.
