How useful would that list even be, after all the attention this has gotten wont that IP list be absurdly long? Maybe there trying to use it to form conspiracies by association.
Well my IP is there. I don't own any Sony products, was considering a PS3 (since the price is right), and I almost never mod those kind of devices, but out of principal I don't think I could justify getting one now.
I have a fantasy of every botnet in the world visiting his site DDoS style, but without the DoS part, padding the list to be miles long of printed court evidence.
GeoHot's blog, geohotgotsued.blogspot.com, specifically mentions that his hack got very little attention outside of the standard homebrew hacker scene up until the point he was sued and every tech blog and publication linked to him. These actions are just absurd. GeoHot even states that he has come across means to restore the cryptography on the device, which could effectively shut out piracy. I doubt he'd ever hand it over though. There's no reason to be nice to the guy who's kicking you in the crotch.
Really they should have hired him to work on console security, as well as officially allowing the system to be modded to allow home brew, take away the incentive for the homebrew people to further enabled piracy and get it seems the best person to defend their console against piracy in the future.
"If you read the legal ruling, it's very clear that this judge's ruling is being done so that any information found is designated as Attorneys Eyes Only, meaning that it is restricted to anything relevant to the case (and specific matter being challenged) at hand is disclosed, and anything else summarily forgotten. Hell, the document makes clear that this information is for jurisdictional discovery only, which determines whether or not Geohot can be tried in California."
"Relevant case law allows Sony to subpoena records to determine jurisdiction. They can subpoena Geohot's host because it's pertinent to whether or not his hack had an impact in California, and that the distribution of the key took place. They're allowed to subpoena his tweets to see how many people in California read them. The same goes for the other handful of companies they've subpoenaed."
This won't stop me from boycotting Sony from now on, though. I was actually planning to buy a PS3 to play blu-rays and maybe start playing video games again. No more.
