Man, they should have really gotten a judge that knows what's going on. She kees going back and forth because she keeps misunderstanding just exactly how things work.
As I said in another thread, I don't think they'll find anything surprising about the hacks on his hard drive, I'm betting they're looking for proof that he pirates games.
That would get them:
1. If he pirates games then he must be making the hack to pirate games
2. It would go against what he told the community and hopefully make his lose face (though I doubt it)
3. If anything, have to pay fines for pirating games.

probably not just games - Sony could look for and possibly find pirated stuff of theirs in the form of videos or music too...their catalog is huge
but it looks like that even if they do find the stuff, if it doesn't relate to the PS3 cracking/hacking they can't use it in this case at this time.
They might be able to bring a separate suit for the other stuff, but then surely the evidence would be inadmissible?

They have no right to be searching that stuff though, he could just counter sue their asses back for accessing stuff of his that they weren't ever given permission to access.

for sure - but maybe - and it's a big maybe - Sony could use evidence of other pirated materials as "proof" or at least an indication that he might have the intention of distributing copyright materials and could use that to shoot down his so called pure intention not to allow his hacks to run pirated software on PS3's.
I.E. they might be able to relate this stuff to the case at hand (stuff related directly to PS3 hacking is the current extent of the order) - but as you said it would be a gamble that might end poorly for Sony.

There's no maybe here. IF the order is looking for something specific, ANYTHING ELSE is unadmissible plain simple.
