If Sony sued only for that, then the case would not exist. It would cost Sony too much in legal fees, and they wouldn't get anything in return. If anything, all they could do is say they succeeded in bankrupting Geohot, and I don't think that's something that the shareholders would approve of.
Let's be clear here. Sony is going forward with this case in order to rewrite the law for their benefit. That is the only thing that they hope to gain from this.
