I doubt that Sony would do anything other than encourage additional hacking of their system by doing this. If sueing was so effective then why didn't Apple sue Geohot? It isn't like they've shown much restraint in the past.

cause they lost the lawsuit for jailbreaking in general.. the court founded jailbreaking legal http://www.eff.org/press/archives/2010/07/26 ... so hacking your PS3 will probably not be illegal so the only thing to get Geohot on is releasing the keys... which probably is just a math sum and I don't think you can claim that.. I can't blaim sony for not trying to get money somewhere from someone..

That's exactly what I thought when reading this... first thing I checked was if the suit was in the US. So I gather from this that the jailbreak rulling hasn't been reversed? In which case, this puts all platform hacking as legal (then is the software issue).

The keys are not pattented or copyrighted I would think... that would requier them to be priinted and public, no?
