A guy manufacturers and sells a bunch of swiss army knives Thousands of people buy them, and a fraction of those people use them to stab people. The families of the stabbing victims do not press charges against the murders, but against the manufacturer of a perfectly safe, legal product. The manufacturer is too poor to afford a lawyer, and appeals for donations You people criticise him.
You are sticking up for Sony because you would stick up for Sony if the company personified itself, walked in and kicked a baby in the face. If this exact situation happened to any other company you would support geohot.
Donated. Not a huge amount cos I'm poor as hell, but I gave what I could.

Problem here is that SONY's the one doing the manufacturing and selling.
Geohot's the douche that told a bunch of people how to use the device he had nothing to do with the creation of, how to use that device in a way it was never intended. This led to the people using it in ways that violated the law such as piracy and rumor has it, also a way to punish those that are using the device the way it was originally intended and doing nothing wrong... But hey, let's let Geohot be... he's not a bad guy... It's not his fault that his actions led to something bad.
