Sony has won the right to keep this guy in jail for awhile? Corporations putting people in jail when the person didn't break any laws... What has America come too...


Where does it say he was put in jail? NOWHERE. 


"Sony granted temporary restraining order and impoundment against GeoHotz"

 

Impoundment = To confine in or as if in a pound aka Jail...

If you'd read the article, you would know that it's an order of impoundment, which means that his equipment was taken away, like impounding a car or something. I didn't have enough room to type out Order of Impoundment in the header.

Titles are supposed to be a summary of the actual article... Im sorry i found the title confusing (The title didnt say exactly what was impounded).

 

I read "Sony granted temporary restraining order and impoundment against geohot", That means that Sony has a court order that he cannot come near them and he is in jail...

Regardless, it is messed up that a corporation can take this mans stuff away, especially when he did nothing illegal..
