The ongoing legal tussle between hacker extraordinaire GeoHotz and Sony has seen may twists and turns. The court had previously denied Sony’s appeal for a restraining order on Hotz. Sony followed that by pushing forward an appeal that GeoHotz is in compliance to the PSN agreement since there is a username “Geo1Hotz” registered on the PSN network. GeoHot’s lawyers think otherwise saying that the information regarding that account do not meet their client. The location specified breaks the case since Hotz does not live in Rhode Island, the date of birth of the account is wrong and neither does he use that name.
Geohot’s lawyers are now moving for dismissal of the case all together. This will be a second huge blow of Sony if they loose this too following their denial of a restraining order.
You can download the court documents here.
The only evidence it has put forth to prove Mr. Hotz has entered the PSN Agreement is an improperly authenticated screen shot of a PSN Network account with the username “Geo1Hotz.” Declaration of Gilliland Exh. A. Mr. Hotz does not own or have access to this account. Mr. Hotz does not live in Rhode Island, does not use the name “Geo1Hotz” which, in contrast to Mr. Hotz‟s common handle, utilizes capital letters and a numeral, and Mr. Hotz was not born in 1995 as in the screen grab. Id. Sony further falsely states that Mr. Hotz is “reffered to online as „GeoHot.‟” This is untrue. All exhibits submitted by Sony purport to show that Mr. Hotz goes by the internet name “geohot” without any capitalized letters or numerals.
In the present case, Sony cannot demonstrate that Mr. Hotz‟s activity could even arguably be construed as expressly aimed at California. To the contrary, the sole alleged tortious activity alleged in this action involves Mr. Hotz– who is located in New Jersey– purportedly improperly accessing portions of his own Playstation Computer– which is also located in New Jersey. Sony’s primary allegation is that Mr. Hotz violated the circumvention provisions of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”) by allegedly circumventing control access to the Playstation Computer. Sony also includes various other inexplicable claims for good measure, including Mr. Hotz violating the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act and the California Computer Crime Law for allegedly “exceeding access” to Mr. Hotz’s very own Playstation Computer, as well as for Mr. Hotz purportedly “trespassing” on the very Playstation Computer he lawfully purchased and owns. Sony also alleges that, by engaging in such conduct, Mr. Hotz has breached the PSN TOS (which is actually not applicable to Mr. Hotz as demonstrated above). Nonetheless, this suit centers around the allegation that Mr. Hotz improperly accessed portions of his Playstation Computer.
Sony is also at war with another Hacker "Graf Chokolo" who is being sued for 1 million euros by sony, he told sony that if they continued to push him he'd release all of his knowledge etc, and sony didn't listen, police raided his home, and he has released everything he knows.

IF YOU DONT KNOW WHAT YOU ARE FUCKING TALKING ABOUT, THEN DONT SAY ANYTHING.
GEOHOT jailbreaked 3.55, he DID NOT allow PIRACY, he released the master keys, his main purpose was to allow HOMEBREW and LINUX (otheros - a feature that sony stole in the update 3.x) - its NOT GEOHOT fault that some NOOBS (1337) MAKE SUCH APLICATIONS LIKE FTP TO RUN CHALLENGE LOBBYS on MW2, W@W etc.
If you arent folowing the scene, just dont say SHIT ABOUT IT
Some nice infos: (Source: Geohot oficial site (geohot.com) and geohot oficial blog (geohot got sued)
Stuff retired from his blog:

Three Facts
* I have never pirated a PS3 game in my life, nor helped or encouraged people to do so
* I have never played PlayStation online, never mind cheated, nor helped or encouraged people to do so
* I have never hacked anything that I did not own or without consent of the owner

Today, KaKaRoTo has received yet another “hate mail” in his inbox. However, from what he told us, as opposed to most of the hate mail he receives, this one was sent by someone who was polite and respectful. That prompted KaKaRoTo to give this person a response, and he decided to share it with us, in the hope that it will open the eyes of others.
He is also kindly asking every PS3 user out there to NOT use their systems for evil purposes, whether it is for cheating or for piracy.

Hi there,
I’m an honest guy and i would like you to kindly stop hacking the PS3 version of MW2. I would really like to play normally but it seems that I can’t find a normal lobby. If you don’t want to stop could you please tell me why you are doing this?
Thanking you in advance,
[private]And his response :
Code:
Hi [private],
I get a lot of hate mail recently from people who have no idea about who I am and what I do. Thank you for being polite and respectful. For this reason, you are the first one to whom I will reply.
I do not hack MW2, I don’t have MW2, I never bought it and never tried it. I hate FPS shooters, the only ones I ever played were Resistance 2 and Killzone 2, and I never played those in multiplayer, only single player campaigns.
I am not responsible for whoever is hacking your MW2 servers, the real people to yell at are those 10 years olds in their basement thinking they’re all great for doing stuff like that.
They should be reported and their account banned, but that is beyond my control.
What I do however is completely different, I defend you, I defend you from Sony’s unacceptable behavior. Imagine if for some reason, Microsoft or Apple (Windows or Mac OSX) were acting like Sony, and that you couldn’t access anything on your computer without their authorization? You want to install Skype, you can’t because Microsoft didn’t “approve” it.. because they want you to use MSN Messenger instead… Then where is your freedom on your own machine ?
Also, what about the fact that they removed Linux support. Sony removed an advertised feature! I bought my PS3 *because* it had linux support, then they removed it. Maybe you didn’t use it, maybe very few people used that feature, but that is beyond the point. Just recently, Norway came to the conclusion that what Sony did was unlawful and there are countless lawsuits against what they did. And this sets a precedent.
Imagine if tomorrow Sony says “in the next firmware update, we will remove from the PS3 support of playing Bluray movies and DVDs”.. you bought the PS3 for that, you use that feature (or maybe you don’t, the issue is that someone else does), and they can just remove an advertised feature? It’s illegal, but why can they do it even if it’s illegal? For one simple reason, they have total control over the machine. They could very well do it, then say “pay a 100$ subscription per year to enable that feature”. The machine *can* do it, it did before, but they block it on purpose because they don’t care about their customers.
Recently George Hotz got sued by Sony because he accessed *HIS* PS3 system that he bought. He owns it, if he wants to put it in a blender or throw it out the window, it’s his right, but Sony sues him for “hacking into a protected computer owned by Sony”.. so for them, that PS3 that you own and that you bought with your hard-earned money is NOT YOURS, it’s still theirs, it’s like you rented it (but you didn’t). If you try to access your own computer, they could sue you, just as if you tried to hack into your bank’s server somewhere.. and that isn’t right.
Sony tries to make it seem like they own your PS3 and they own the PS3 that is in everyone’s houses across the world, and that simply isn’t right and it should be made illegal for them to act that way.
Long story short, this is what I do, I let people gain access to the hardware they own, what I do is 100% legal in my country (Canada), and it is equivalent to the recent DMCA Exemption for jailbreaking phones. Now, if someone uses that to do nasty things, you have two people to blame :
1 – the stupid kid who did it
2 – the developers of MW2 that didn’t write their program correctly.
There are many FPS shooters on the PC, and people can install what they want on their PC, that doesn’t make it impossible to play an FPS game on a PC, simply because the developers write their code correctly to prevents the cheaters from cheating.
Anyways, I hope that my explanation makes everything clearer to you, and that you will not judge me for what I do, because I am not a cheater, I am a freedom fighter.
Thank you,
KaKaRoToAll i want with this, is that us,
Cya,

Znote is clueless about the whole thing huh?
Ye everyone knows him from ra1n and jailbreaking iPhones, but he's became even more popular (than he already was) after Sony decided they wanted to sue him...
We all know his ego was huge as fk, but he had a reason right? It's like Kobe Bryant...he has a reason to also...
And Luciano, perfect post. NO ONE else seems to know jackshit.
