Sony's Request For IP Addresses Granted

 

A federal magistrate is granting Sony the right to acquire the internet IP addresses of anybody who has visited PlayStation 3 hacker George Hotz’s website from January of 2009 to the present.

 

Sony also won subpoenas (.pdf) for data from YouTube and Google, as part of its lawsuit against the 21-year-old New Jersey hacker, as well as Twitter account data linked to Hotz, who goes by the handle GeoHot.

Now the world is weird  and people take Prozac  to make it normal.

Is marijuana the best medicine?

This is a very bad move, Sony. =(

Kojima: Come out with Project S already!
