I am not sure what his legal position is but Apple do not seem able to silence him so I think it may not be as straightforward a prosecution case regardless of the country or judicial system employed.

Apple's situation was different, it was just allowing more people to get access to the phone and using it on other service providers. If anything more people bought the iPone because of this.

As for Sony this could cut deep into their pockets if people are able to pirate games since that is a major source of revenue for Sony. So any console they sold right now for pirating reasons would be sold at a complete loss with no possibilty of recouping it since they wont be buying software.  

I am not sure Apple would agree and they have certainly made every effort to put an end to it so I am sure if they had legal recourse they would of used it after all if they actually wanted people to use the phone on any network with any app then they would of made it that way.

Where as it certainly has dug into Microsofts pockets it has not stopped the system shifting many units of software. I still think the Blu Ray disc and the potential complexity of the hack will likely keep this to a minumum and even though the PS3 may of entered the hack race I believe it still is less vunerable than say the 360.
