Can't believe people are actually donating. The guy's an egotistical fool. He managed to hack the PS3 but then shoved it all into the wild with no thought as to the ramifications.

And to all the people supporting him because of the whole freedom of ownership issue; I seriously doubt anything major will come of this bar the immediate and case related issues being resolved. Honestly, it just sounds like paranoia to me.

They already ruled that it's ok to jailbreak an iphone. Maybe this will help with other hardware that we own. But at the least donating will help a guy get a fair hearing against a company that can spend millions on a court case.

 

I donated $20

Thats the thing, it won't help. There is no beating Sony at the money game (unless you actually make more money). You guys are just wasting your money lol. My plan all along 

I hate to say it but you may be right. It's a sad day when big companies can buy any court result they want.


If that's the case, how about ANYONE (such as Geohot or any other individual if they had the money) can buy any court result they want?

Well i mean its not really buying out the court, rather the lawyers too persuade the court.

I can't remember exactly why but there was a law specific to phone networks (or something along those lines) that meant it was legal. I doubt that law would apply to PS3. 

Either way, he deserves everything he gets for behaving so foolishly. Hack the PS3 if you want, but compromising (by releasing it) the security of the entire system? And then boasting about it? What did he really expect? He's made his bed, now he can lie in it.



I don't think anyone is hating on geohot because of jealousy or anything. People hate him because he is fucking up Sony's ecosystem of games and services that we all love and enjoy. We, as the majority, want a closed ecosystem of games and online services. If he wants to hack shit go on the computer or something. I don't understand the need to ruin something beautiful by messing with the PS3. It's a self righteous dick move.

Yes your right. Since it enables you to swith provider with the phone you own it was judge correct.

tehehe Radiantshadow your plan has worked!

Millions of Xbox 360 fans have donated, now they won't have enough money to buy Xbox 360 games in the near future, Xbox 360 software sales will take a nose dive and PS3 will get exclusives from 3rd parties, the Empire will rise again from the pings of xbox 360 fan's paypal accounts loosing money to our bait, Geohotz!!!!!

A master plan of epic proportions!



All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey

wow all the anti-sony guys donating. Big Fucking Surprise.

Donating to help some guy win a case so that he can continue allowing random people to ban random consoles, hack multiplayer games for cheating,  and steal games.

This is a true way to tell who are the real trolls on this site.

Keep doing everything you can to win the console "war" for your company.


I doubt half of these people are donating anything. It's the internet they have to boost their egos.

I agree, who is stupid enough to throw away money like that?



  Tifa got MOVES!

How about this one....

If Sony wins this case, it will be the stepping stone towards bigger control by a corporation on goods that you purchase from now on. It might seem like much control now, but let several more cases go through, with more and more siding towards the corporatist front, since they're the ones with the money to fight for this.

The future will be comprised of options of what to buy, but once you buy it, your options are invalid. If you buy a car from GM, you'll only be able to use fuel from Exxon, Tyres from Bridgestone, all at insanely jacked up prices. Why? Because you will no longer have a say in what you do with the things that you buy.

Now, to all those that think that people that are against Sony in this case are automatically supporting piracy, the same could be said for the ones supporting Sony as ones who do not care about their freedom as a consumer, who support the corporatist movement, who WANT their lives to be dictated to them by the corporations, the very companies whose business plans do NOT include protecting the consumer, but to make money.
