Sony Wins Restraining Order Against Geohot

[BlackWidower]

I hope this dick gets tossed in jail for the trouble he has caused and loses his house in the process. That would be a good day, like a 2nd christmas

For cracking a Playstation?

He didn't kill anyone, or destroy anyone's property...he cracked his own Playstation, and allowed others to do the same. What trouble did he cause?

Vastly increased piracy, increase in hacks in games, eventual increase in drm.

Well it's not really his responsibility if someone uses his hacks irresponsibly. That's like blaming the inventor of alcohol for drunk drivers.

He didn't do this to make it easier to pirate games, but to run alternative OSes on his Playstation...or am I thinking of someone else?

When the creator of alchol first concieved it, I doubt he ever imagined that people would get wasted on this and drive giant metal things on wheels.

This guy most likely knew it could and would be used for piracy, but didn't care 'cause he felt he was safe 'cause he wasn't pirating.

...hmmm...good point. Okay, then, that's like blaming the inventor of cars for vehicular manslaughter.

he did it so people could pirate games and is activly making it easier, he wants to and encourages people to pirate games with his actions. Thus yea I hope he goes to jail as an early Christmas present to me

Where's your source on that? Did he outright say that's why he did it? See, what your doing is trying to look into this guy's soul, trying to read his mind, and that's impossible. It's like the same guys who claim the Tea Party is full of racists, they can't know that, and neither can you. I know you don't know why he did it, because I don't know why he did it, and in the words of Bill Maher: I guarantee you do not possess powers that I don't.

So unless you have proof regarding his motives, you got nothing.

got proff he didnt?

Got spell check?

Anyway...that's not the point. The onus of proof is on you. You are the one who believes he should be thrown in prison, and have his freedom taken away. It's called the presumption of innocence, innocent until proven guilty, and it's the cornerstone of the modern justice system. I don't have to prove anything, you do.

Too little, too late. The damage is done, Sony. Suing is pointless. Just fix any security holes you can, and try to move on.

The damage might be done, but he should still be punished.

Translation, no im pulling this shat out my butt. So i stand by, he should be thrown in jail for breaking the DMCA, witch he has done.

The DMCA is Criminal? Here I thought it was civil law. There isn't anyone who has been criminally prosecuted for DMCA violations before, why would this be the case now?

 

[JDKJ]

It's both. And I believe there was a criminal prosecution recently initiated but it was eventually dismissed (if you're interested, the case was covered by this site).

 

[ewhac]

There isn't anyone who has been criminally prosecuted for DMCA violations before, why would this be the case now?

Yes, there has. Google for, "Dmitry Sklyarov" (I was in the courtroom at his arraignment). And then never buy anything from Adobe again.

There's also this guy: http://www.justice.gov/criminal/cybercrime/mynafSent.htm who caught a 2-year prison sentence under the DMCA.
