Apparently its a restraining order...Sony has no case against overflow guys... they hacked nothing, but used simple algebra to reveal sony's epic fail. But Gehotz may be in trouble for extorsion as he suggested he wants sony to hire him to prevent this in the future.

A brief recap:

Sony sued Bleemcast and won...a tool which allowed a dying Dreamcast to run PS1 games and anctually improve resolution and framerate of the games. This would have been awesome but no...

Then they they sued Lik-Sang for selling Japanese PSPs to EU and won...shut them down. That site was awesome as they had every kickass arcade stick, controller and other gadgets.

Now this...

To be honest, their childish behaviour really makes me want to pirate their products.

The difference being that the ones they sued and won, they were actually profiting from their activity.  I don't see where Geohot has made a dime from this.  And I don't know if they can get Geohot for extorsion if he were simply asking them for a job.  He probably said that I know how to get the keys and I can help you stop it etc.. if you give me a job.  They said no and he said ok thank you.  The rest is history.
