The point is that its Sony or Microsoft choice to sue an hacker if he release complete or part of their software. If its not doing them any bad they will obviously not sue them (kinect case), this doesnt mean they couldnt if they wanted.
On topic, now the guy is pretty much guilty since he admit releasing the hypervisor code for download.
PS.: May I remind everyone that on PS2 there has been boot disc and mod chip for years without sony sueing anyone.

He's not releasing, or ever going to release "hypervisor code".
It's his code, and his research that he's releasing.
Please do some googling and investigation and you will see this is one of the good guys that has specifically been very careful not to break any laws.

Stop you nonsense bubblegum, its getting ridiculous. When you have tool to reverse engineer or to make custom firmware you have automatically part or full of the original code in it. Its linked together.
"Guys, i don’t joke, it’s serious.
And to prove it, i kept my word and uploaded all my HV reversing stuff."

That isn't true in the slightest, what makes you think that?
The end user downloads the original Sony firmware, the hacker provides the tools to modify that firmware. The hacker provides no copyrighted code.
Even the decryption key that geohot provided isn't copyrighted, since it can be derived by reversing without knowledge of trade secrets. It's questionable if a decryption key can even be copyrighted in the first place from my understanding but I can't be sure of that. Would be curious to know if anyone knows better.
